Our Leadership Team

Gary brings more than three decades of executive leadership to Puetz Construction, where he oversees company operations, drives strategic growth, and holds every project to a standard that doesn’t just meet expectations — it exceeds them. As a longtime Chief Operating Officer and Chief Development Officer, Gary has spent his career helping companies grow without letting quality slip — which, for a Puetz Construction client, that means projects run tight, standards are held as we scale, and craftsmanship that never takes a back seat to speed.

After three decades in the C-suite, Gary could have gone anywhere. He chose a growing regional contractor because he saw a rare thing — a company already doing so many things right, and a real chance to help shape what it becomes.

Away from the office, Gary’s usually on his motorcycle somewhere in the hills, in a deer stand, or spending quality time with his wife Paula, their two kids, and his beloved pup, Archie.

Jess Radtke is the Production Manager at Puetz Construction, responsible for turning our customers’ project plans into exceptional finished results.

Her leadership plays a critical role in delivering the white glove experience in a blue-collar industry that defines Puetz Construction.”
