E.B.S. Staff
Tony Bonaduce
Founder
Tony Bonaduce, has 40 years' experience in the construction industry, doing just about any task presented. It was this no-job-too-small attitude which initially got him in the door with many of his clients, forging relationships and a solid foundation for his fledgling company. Since then, Tony has been expanding E.B.S.’s horizons by consistently providing the best service to his clients, treating them professionally and fairly. When asked about how he got started in construction at all, he recounted this moment in time:
“T’was the night before Christmas, when I was about five years old and—although I find it difficult to believe that my brother and I were being little brats as they claim— my parents decided to put coal in our stockings as punishment. Coal was not available at 10:30 on Christmas Eve, though, so as a substitute, my father went out to the garage and cut up blocks of wood to fill our stockings. When we woke in the morning, my brother was extremely disappointed, but I went and got a hammer and nails. I was very content building with the new blocks, and when the presents were later ‘discovered’ in another room, rather than open them, I elected to continue building.”
Matt Loring
President
Matt Loring, President and Project Manager, is the driving force behind our field personnel, and we mean not only as motivator keeping our projects advancing aggressively, but in the sheer number of miles he actually covers across multiple states to get the job done. With advanced degrees in Business and Public Administration, as well as 30 + years in the industry, he applies every bit of that knowledge, experience and education to his roles in the company. Everyone knows that Matt gets results, but we do so enjoy witnessing his skills challenged in the parental arena.
Vahid Walker
Vice President
Vahid Walker, “V,” Vice President and Project Manager, has recently been appointed Vice President at E.B.S. His high school job as a construction laborer working for his father, evolved through job supervision duties after college and into project management soon after he came to us. True to the degree he earned, V’s professional demeanor and buttoned-down style suggest that he’s all business, but right below the surface lives a dry sense of humor. That ability to bring levity to any situation serves him well in the rigorous field environment of commercial construction, and—perhaps even more so—around the home office.
Stephanie Rowe
Stephanie Darby, Office Manager/AP/AR, serves as the company hub of interaction with clients and architects, sub-contractors, insurance, licensing and permitting agencies. As the back-up pair of eyes on paperwork from every department here at E.B.S., she credits the discipline cultivated while earning a double major in Professional Writing and Philosophy for her attention to detail, sharp communication skills and ability to keep things in perspective. That being said, anyone who has been to the office knows that the true keys to Stephanie’s work flow are sticky notes in multiple colors and sizes plus plenty of chocolate on hand.
Janet Nunamacher
Admin/Office Assistant
Janet is the right hand to Stephanie our Office Manager. She has a jump in and follow through attitude. Driven and motivated describes her in life as well as work. She likes to take on new challenges. She brings with her 20+ years of business experience with a Landscape Design and Installation Company, which she was the Owner/Operator. She is very passionate about the earth, so gardening comes naturally; a blank canvas to paint with flowers. She loves cooking, camping, the beach, concerts and of course gardening.
Tony Gutierrez
Job Supervisor
Tony Gutierrez, “Tony G”, Job Supervisor, brings almost 40 years of construction know-how to bear on every project. This experience proves invaluable at all stages of the job, particularly at turnover when time is of the essence. His sharp eye for the practical keeps Tony’s approach economic and result-driven, strictly within time and budget parameters. In fact, we have dispatched Tony G specifically for clients in a bind from failure by other GCs to produce; he always propels the project across the finish line, while still managing to find time for making homemade wine and canning those brutally hot peppers he loves.
Glenn Grob
Project Supervisor
Glenn Grob, Project Supervisor, a self-starter since high school, ran a demo crew as a teenager. He developed his interest in the construction industry further with business management studies in college. His experience now covers a wide spectrum from construction design/layout and carpentry to project coordination and site supervision; Glenn’s operations expertise ensures efficient handling of any job site, no matter its complexity. He enjoys doing yard work and manages to go surfing on occasion, but with young children at home, family time takes top priority
Christopher Bonaduce
Project Supervisor
Christopher Bonaduce, Project Supervisor, had no choice but to grow up around the business from a very young age, from watching his father run a job site to one day running his own. Quickly advancing to becoming a project supervisor, he has proved to be a valuable addition to our staff with his experience in electrical work. He deserves lots of credit for managing his time between his young family and his career. We do enjoy seeing Chris and his family in the office when time allows, but we strongly suggest that he leave the chalkboard artwork to the professionals!
Shae Goodwin
Estimator
Shae Goodwin, Estimator, is our first point of contact for sub-contractors when projects go out to bid. Following her college studies in architecture and interior design, she gained experience in the HVAC/plumbing field. Shae came to E.B.S. eager to expand her skills and now holds a pivotal role coordinating multiple facets of estimating, as well as administering our Plan Room for a smooth interface with a nationwide pool of subcontractors. On a more practical level, her arsenal of organization includes every color available in highlighters, and she’s a master at producing intuitive take-offs with them.
Jessica Johnson
Estimator Assistant Admin
Assistant Admin assists our Estimating department by providing impeccable organization and attention to detail. She is also a point of contact for sub-contractors throughout the bidding process. Being a resourceful thinker, who is eager to learn outside of her formal job position, she has been able to excel in various trades. She has gained experience in the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical fields throughout her work experience, and continues to learn and appreciate various trades while working at EBS Builders. Her initiative, critical thinking, and strong multi-tasking skills shine in our Estimating Department. Jessica will credit most of her organization to Microsoft Excel – she has a spreadsheet for just about everything!” In Jessica’s spare time she enjoys plenty of hiking, cooking, and rocking out to awesome concerts.
Melissa Canneto
Project Coordinator
Melissa has been with EBS for over 3 years. After receiving her bachelor's degree in accounting, moving out west to explore the Rocky Mountains, and returning home to New Jersey, her interest in construction led her to EBS Builders. Her experience began as an Estimator's Assistant, quickly advancing to Estimator and Project Coordinator roles. She is very dedicated and goal-oriented with her eyes set on becoming a Project Manager in the near future. In her free time, Melissa enjoys photography, cooking, and traveling, but most of all, spending time with her canine friend, Joker. Everyone on the team appreciates Melissa's " get it done " attitude.
Joann Rauso
Project Coordinator
Jo is a Project Coordinator - she backs up the Project Manager and job superintendent in whatever way is needed to ensure a smooth and successful job turnover. Before joining the EBS team she worked with Fort Monmouth and the US Defense Department on a project in Afghanistan - and once had to buy a goat as a gesture of thanks to a local contact in Kabul to keep that project running smoothly. With this "do anything attitude to get the job done " all of us in the office realize the asset she is. In her free time, she likes hiking, kayaking, tennis and yes - goat yoga!
