Derek Muelken had originally gotten word about Capital Construction through his wife who is friends with the CEO, Andy Oakes. Before approaching this opportunity, he was a corporate salesman at Verizon and had no experience in construction whatsoever.
From the jump, it was clear that Derek was a great fit to lead the multi-family division. His first roofing project was a $2.2 million townhome reroof. Drawn to the long-term vision of the company and opportunities to build solid relationships, he spent his first three years after starting to work to be a recognizable contractor in the metro.
With the help of Andy overseeing the growth, Derek and his team were able to bring the multi-family division nationwide. Today he sits as the director of multi-family operations and has continued his ongoing success and incredible leadership.
