We’re Redefining Expectations for Construction Partners

At ALC, leadership means more than titles. It’s about setting the pace, guiding the process, and raising the bar for every project. Our team brings decades of experience and a commitment to craftsmanship, collaboration, and growth.

After taking ownership from his father, he helped grow ALC through a field-first mindset built on hard work, practical decision-making, and loyalty to the people who make the company go. A Lawrence University graduate and former football player, Tim brings a competitive edge to leadership, but also a deep understanding that a strong company is built by taking care of its people and their families. Under his leadership, ALC has grown more than 350% while staying grounded in the relationships, craftsmanship, and jobsite standards that built its reputation. Tim is direct, steady, and outcome-focused. He gives people the goal, trusts them to find the path, and expects the work to be done the right way.

Sam is focused on creating opportunity for ALC’s office, field, and families while expanding the company’s impact in the communities it serves.
