LEADERSHIP AT MACON CONSTRUCTION

ADAM ENDRESS, PRESIDENT

Adam grew up working on the family farm and for his father, building bins and erecting small hoop buildings. He graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in finance in 2004, and has been with Macon since the beginning. He and his wife Brittany have six children – five girls and a boy, which takes up most of his free time. In the remaining few minutes he has, he enjoys singing, smoking meats, traveling, the financial markets and spending time with his church family. He is a member of YPO and he enjoys finding ways to help the company run smoothly and efficiently.

PHIL ENDRESS, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT

Phil joined Macon in 2014. He graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois in 2006 and spent the next 7 years working at Exelon Nuclear as an engineer at LaSalle Station before joining the family business. He and his wife Beth and their five children enjoy family time, singing, and traveling. He is a coffee connoisseur and enjoys buying green coffee beans from all over the world and roasting them. His family also enjoys spending time with their church family. Phil enjoys looking for better ways to do things – whether it’s up-front design, streamlined manufacturing or better integration of the team to complete projects on time and on budget.

BRETT STEGALL, VICE PRESIDENT OF OPERATIONS

Brett has been with Macon since the beginning and has been vital to its success. Before taking over his current role as VP of Operations, he managed the concrete and millwright crews in the field, streamlining many of our processes. And some years he has even been able to sleep a few nights in his own bed. Brett, his wife Becky, and their two kids are Tampa Bay Rays fans, and love to travel to different ballparks to watch them. Brett is involved with every aspect of the construction process, and enjoys bringing everything together in a timely manner.

NICK HOERR, VICE PRESIDENT OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Nick has been with Macon since 2012 and has been involved in the construction industry his entire life. He grew up working with his dad in the family’s construction company building homes. He spent almost 10 years working as a sales consultant in the ag industry before coming to work for Macon in the role of new business development.  Nick has been married to his wife Kristen since 2012, and they live with their three children in Indianapolis. He enjoys traveling, spending time with family, and teaching Sunday School at his church.  In addition, Nick loves spending time on the golf course and boating with his family.  Nick enjoys working with customers on the front end of the process, helping customers with design and budget, and seeing those ideas come to fruition.

BRYAN ROLLINS, PROJECT MANAGER

Bryan was raised on a farm and started helping his father as soon as he was tall enough. His first construction job was with a residential concrete contractor. With that contractor’s retirement in 2012, Bryan began work with Macon on a memorable 103° day in Nebraska which luckily turned out to be not as bad as a 103° day in Illinois. Having worked alongside and supervised Macon’s crews in the field, Bryan has a sincere respect for the quality of their work and dedication to excellence. Bryan with his wife Becky, who shares his rural roots, cherish time with their three children. Away from work Bryan can be found tinkering with an old Ford pickup, drinking coffee on the deck, working on improvements around the house, or soaking the sun in at the beach.

LYDIA DOWN, PROJECT MANAGER & SAFETY DIRECTOR

Lydia was born, raised, and still resides in Wyoming, IL, and she has been with Macon since 2016. She attended Black Hawk College with an emphasis in accounting and served as Treasurer for the City of Wyoming from 2002 to 2010. She then worked on the safety team for a local manufacturer for six years. Lydia is well versed in the area of local, state, and federal requirements and strives to ensure that Macon is one of the safest companies to work for. In her spare time she gardens, fishes, cans vegetables, and vacations in Minnesota with her husband and daughter.

Andrew

ANDREW MYERS, MANUFACTURING DIVISION MANAGER

Andrew, from Chillicothe, Illinois, started out with Macon years ago and was on a team that went out to build hoop buildings in the field.  After that, he worked as a traveling welder, going to various locations in the U.S.  Next, he operated his own fabrication shop and employed other fabrication workers.  Andrew returned to Macon and now manages the manufacturing division, which manufactures the parts and assemblies that are sent out to the field to be installed on site.  Andrew enjoys spending time with his children and wife Rachel and enjoys Frozen video games with his daughter when he has down time.

BENJAMIN ENDRESS, MAJORITY OWNER
