Eric M.

Field Operations Lead

I started in the construction field as a residential carpenter working on everything from footings to shingles before joining the military, where I was an electrician for six years. I believe communication is one of the most crucial tools in managing construction projects, and it is a must-have trait for a successful superintendent. 

In my role, I work closely with our field staff to make sure our philosophies and procedures are carried forward in a consistent, meaningful way. I enjoy mentoring and training our teams so they feel supported and confident.. I also take responsibility for creating clear goals, communicating them openly, and holding our teams accountable in a way that helps them grow.

Quality and safety are at the heart of the job for me. I regularly review projects to ensure they meet Gardner’s standards, and I make sure every job site is a place where people feel safe and where our safety philosophy shows up in real, everyday actions. Supporting our General Superintendents and SPW leads through ongoing mentorship is another key part of my work, and I appreciate the chance to help them develop as leaders.

It’s important to me that the end users of the space, as well as the designers and construction team, are happy with both the end product and the overall construction experience. Seeing an end product with top-notch finishes and everything flowing together as it should is what I enjoy most.
