Bryan is KPH’s Vice President of Construction. He grew up in the construction industry and from an early age was walking jobsites and reading blueprints. That early interaction and involvement was what sparked the passion for construction he has today. Bryan has extensive analyzing experience in blueprints and other documentation to prepare time, cost, materials, and labor estimates, which he uses in his day-to-day interactions with our various project teams.

With a degree in Construction Management from Milwaukee School of Engineering, Bryan brings over 10 years experience within the industry to our customers.

Bryan joined KPH Construction in 2014 as an Assistant Project Manager and quickly worked his way up to the role of Project Manager. When the need for an estimator developed, Bryan jumped in and took over the roles and responsibilities. He quickly adapted to the role and worked to revamp the estimating department into a highly efficient and successful division at KPH. In 2019, Bryan was elevated to the position of Vice President of Construction where he continues to oversee and develop the estimating department but also oversees and develops all construction management, operations, and new business.
