A third-generation contractor, Jed began his career working for his
family’s construction company, which focused on private and public
civil earthwork, concrete, and utility projects in Connecticut and
Massachusetts. His career soon took him to Illinois, where he led work
programs for two major Illinois general contractors in
preconstruction, business development, and operations.
Prior to founding Richard Group, Jed managed national and
international projects of over $500MM for the U.S. Government. As
founder and president of Richard, he is involved as the chief
estimator of every project since Richard Group’s inception and takes
an active role in leading the field operation teams.
Jed is a former Ranger and Airborne-qualified Captain in the US
Army’s 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team with three tours in
Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom, where he experienced
firsthand what people can do when they harness their talents together
for a single purpose.
