At A-Con, we take great pride in being a small, family-owned business. Before becoming a business owner, Derrick spent many years in the construction industry working for a large commercial contractor, gaining valuable experience on a wide variety of projects.
Some of the projects he is most proud of are historical renovations, which remain among his favorite types of work. Over the years, he had the opportunity to contribute to iconic Charleston landmarks including the Dock Street Theatre, Charleston City Hall, and the historic Old Public Works Building, among others.
