This Summer, Deacon Construction, LLC was pleased to welcome Christine Schlicker, Jenny Warnick, and Andrew Saxton to the Board. Marking a new day for our organization, these individuals are bringing diverse industry perspectives to the Deacon family by employing their past experiences in varying fields.

Working alongside the new Board Managers, The Deacon Executive Team of Andrew Naegeli, CEO; Lisa Terlson, CFO; Anita Jain, Executive VP; John Clouse, Executive VP; Brandon Nelson, VP; and Drew Sense, VP will continue their leadership in the business by driving growth and opportunity across the company.

"As the company has moved into its second generation of leadership, we saw value in having a greater separation between the board and the daily company leadership. I'm excited about the new ideas and fresh perspectives they will bring." - Andrew Naegeli, CEO

Christine Schlicker comes from a background in construction and is currently employed at Intel as People Operations Program Manager for the Fab Construction Enterprise. Her familiarity with our beloved industry in combination with her leadership skills have proven her a major asset from the get-go.

In addition to joining our Board, Jenny Warnick is also situated at the helm of Wellsource, Inc. as the company’s Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Warnick has served as a business executive and attorney for companies in the manufacturing, technology, and energy sectors. Her foresight and ability to identify promising opportunities are skills we are excited for her to employ.

As with Ms. Schlicker and Ms. Warnick, Andrew Saxton holds an exterior leadership role as the Chief Revenue Officer for Galois, Inc.

Deacon Construction has a proud history of employing and working alongside some of the best and brightest in the construction industry. That being said, we are also exceptionally excited to bring aboard these new Board Managers and their expertise in the varied industries in which they have excelled.
