Throughout those years, John has played an integral role in growing the company. Currently, John oversees day-to-day operations (internally and in the field), supports Arden’s Construction Division (project management for mechanical, fire protection, electrical, and building automation), supervises procurement, bidding, and estimating processes for construction, and supports Arden’s Service & Maintenance and Traffic Divisions.
