  Alex Cimorelli

  I’ve been working with TI Builders since my Father, Mike, first told me “I need help!”. I was mostly occupied with algebra and video games, but in time I grew to love the complexity and flexibility of working for a family owned small business. There is not just room to grow, but frequent impetus to grow. ​Most of my work is on project management, but I also manage the administrative odds and ends of the business. We run lean and stay nimble. We take ownership and allow decisions to be made on the ground. When chaos strikes, we organize and seek creative solutions rather than placing blame. We are here to consistently improve. We like to make things happen. Other than working, I make sourdough from scratch, I pull shots of espresso, lift heavy weights, pray, read, hang out with my wife, and play with my young son.
