Before founding his own company, Mr. Goldberg built a solid foundation at Associated Paving Contractors from 1999 to 2008. He began his tenure as a laborer while still in high school and continued through college, steadily advancing to the role of superintendent. This period provided Mr. Goldberg with invaluable hands-on experience and insight into the industry, shaping his approach to business management and project oversight.
Mr. Goldberg’s academic background includes a bachelor’s degree in construction management from Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2005. His formal education equipped him with technical knowledge and project management skills that have been instrumental in his professional achievements. Participation in co-op programs during college further enriched Mr. Goldberg’s practical understanding of the field, complementing the lessons learned from early work experiences.
A lifelong fascination with construction, sparked by family connections to the industry and nurtured from childhood, motivated Mr. Goldberg’s career path. He credits his success not only to his own drive to see others succeed and create positive outcomes for all involved but also to the dedication of his employees and the strong relationships he maintains with other contractors. While he does not cite a specific mentor, Mr. Goldberg draws inspiration from observing the growth of fellow contractors. He also acknowledges the significant impact of trusted colleagues who have helped expand his business.
Beyond his professional pursuits, Mr. Goldberg has demonstrated civic commitment, most notably as a volunteer firefighter for over a decade from 2000 to 2015, reflecting his dedication to community service.
