Mark Keever

Vice President of Preconstruction

Mark Keever is well-rounded, dedicated, and experienced with over 18 years in the construction industry. He is extremely proud that he “started from the bottom,” first entering the industry as a maintenance technician for a regional senior assisted living facility where he gained much hands-on experience. Mark also worked for a large commercial electrical firm for 4 years, and he was promoted to Foreman after just 1.5 years. During his time at a small, local construction company, Mark’s grit and commitment to his work were evident, and he quickly worked his way up from “swinging the hammer” to General Manager.

In January of 2018 he decided to seek out more opportunities and moved to a larger company, joining our team as an Estimator / Project Manager for commercial construction. Being the quick study that he is, Mark was promoted to VP of Construction for the Reading Market after 2 years with D&B, and just 4 months after that he was promoted to VP of Pre-Construction for the entire company.

Mark grew up near our Reading headquarters, graduating from Wilson High School West Lawn, where he was an all-county and all-league football player, and studying Business at Penn State University’s Berks Campus. He enjoys spending time at the beach with his wife, Kelsey, and two kids, Peighton and Cole. Mark also enjoys golfing, fishing and going to the gym in his spare time.
