Meghan McGuinness
Vice President

Meghan grew up in the construction industry, following her entrepreneurial parents on jobsites, and watching projects grow from the ground up. Her favorite aspect of construction as a child was new concrete and she has fond memories of “making her mark” before the final float occurred. She attended Auburn University and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife Biology. After an internship in Primates and employment in the Florida Mammals division at Lowry Park Zoo, she left her passion and officially joined the team in 2003. She earned her State of Florida Building Contractors’ license in 2012. Meghan is married to a Veteran paramedic, has two energetic little boys, and the sweetest rescue dog named Stella.
