Michael “Coop” Cooper brings a unique mix of military discipline and strong communication skills to the team. A proud Navy veteran, Coop spent over a decade in the telecommunications industry with a focus on splicing and infrastructure before transitioning into the building and construction field. While newer to the industry, he’s eager to learn and brings a positive attitude and team-first mindset to every job.

He holds an Associate of Science degree and a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Coop is excited to grow his knowledge in construction and looks forward to expanding his skill set as part of a hands-on, experienced team.

Outside of work, you’ll likely find him golfing, boating, enjoying time at the beach with friends and family, or cheering on UGA football. He also dreams of one day owning his own BBQ food truck or restaurant.

Matt Maerz brings a strong background in team leadership and project coordination to his role as Superintendent. With 4 years of experience in food and beverage management and 3 years in construction management, Matt has developed a sharp eye for quality control and a steady approach to planning and communication on the job site.

 He is known for his attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and ability to keep projects moving forward efficiently and collaboratively.

A fun fact – he’s a twin! He lives by the quote: “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.”

With 39 years of hands-on construction experience, Scott brings a deep understanding of the field to his role as Superintendent. He is a highly skilled journeyman with a career built on real-world learning and dedication – what he proudly calls an “O.J.T. degree from the school of hard knocks.” While he humbly doesn’t call himself a master carpenter, Scott’s depth of knowledge and attention to detail speak for themselves across every project he touches.

Scott approaches each build as a special opportunity to deliver quality and precision. Outside of work, he enjoys hunting, fishing, boating, camping, and riding his Harley. A musician at heart, he also enjoys playing his guitar.
