“If you don’t know how to do something, learn how to do it.” This is Maureen’s motto in life. Before offering her expertise to Colt Builders in 2012, she had a diverse work background. Working previously as a law enforcement officer, as well as a designer and contract salesperson for a kitchen and bath company. Maureen has a degree in Criminal Justice and was in law enforcement for 12 years. With this background, naturally, Maureen has valuable insight on safety. She is a certified Safety Trained Supervisor for Construction (STSC) and served as Safety Coordinator before her current position. With duel residences in Virginia and Florida, Maureen’s life outside of work consists of traveling, skiing on both water and snow, golfing, and watercolor painting.

Whether it is single-family starter homes, custom houses in the Boston suburbs, or large scale multi-family units, Bill has done it all. Having a sense of accomplishment is what attracted him to the trade, over 25 years ago. After working in the field with the hands-on work of carpentry and supervisor, Bill stepped into a role focused on safety. With his extensive background, Bill identified ways to increase safety and productivity. His proficiency in understanding safety regulations and specifications enables him to combine two key elements; Bill understands how the crew prefers to work, and he combines that with the practical safety methods that complement the team’s efforts and efficiency. He is a proud family man whose own motivation comes from helping others succeed. Bill credits this as the driving force of his success. When he is not helping the Colt Builders team stay safe, he is setting lobster traps and enjoying boating with his wife in Massachusetts.

Arriving in the Estimating Department of Colt Builders in 2014, Ryan has worked his way to the Directors position. Ryan’s construction career did not begin here.

Adding to his variety of experience, he then worked as a truss designer followed by site supervisor. He has extensive knowledge in commercial wood-framed buildings and great attention to detail. Ryan and his family are avid New York Yankees fans, and adding to his love for sports, Ryan coaches little league baseball and youth wrestling.

The year 1990 was the start of Jim’s construction career, where he brings an impressive amount of skill-set to his projects.

Originally from Pennsylvania & Virginia, he is now working out of our Maryland office. Jim spent many years in project management, where he gained valuable knowledge of the field that he now uses with his pre-construction duties. As an avid baseball & hockey fan, he roots for the NY Yankees, Washington Capitals & Hershey Bears. Jim also takes his passion for sports to another level and is the assistant coach for his sons’ travel baseball teams.

Though he grew up in Northern California and Hawaii, Norm has always had a special place in his heart for mountains, and is proud to call Utah ‘home’. His involvement in the construction industry has come in many forms, from home remodels and welding structural steel, to an electrician apprenticeship, to Information Technology here at Colt Builders. He has founded companies, raised capital and led teams across Advertising Technology, Field Service Management, Manufacturing as well as Information Technology. Norm’s understanding of the technology world runs deep; from embedded hardware; to computer networks; all the way to building desktop, web, and mobile applications. When it comes to his work ethic, he can thank his childhood summers on his grandfather’s farm, where he was taught the value of hard work and also working smart. Having moved all around the United States, Norm has a heart for adventure and loves getting outdoors to ski, hike, and travel. He even finds adventure in his workshop, usually in the form of woodworking and furniture making.
