Meet the Business Owner

Marc O.

Business Owner

I was able to develop a passion for architecture and construction at a very young age by growing up in our family construction business. This allowed me a unique opportunity to build a solid foundation through hands-​on experience working in the field of residential construction. I was able to gain a wealth of knowledge under the tutelage of my father, teaching me not only about the business but also about working hard, being honest and creating lasting relationships. I then combined this invaluable experience with an education in architecture to begin a career in residential design. I then worked with a variety of architecture firms both large and small to fine tune my design skills and learn to develop relationships with clients and contractors. This experience allowed me the great opportunity to form MARC O’GRADY design+build and continue our family tradition of design and construction.
