Martin Horn: Charlottesville Construction Firm

Joining Martin Horn has been an incredible journey from the start. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was welcomed with open arms and felt like part of the family. The mentorship here is exceptional; I’ve been fortunate to work with some truly inspiring leaders who have guided me with wisdom and encouragement, pushing me to grow in ways I hadn’t imagined. Every day at Martin Horn presents new challenges that keep me engaged and continuously learning. And perhaps best of all, the daily dose of laughter and camaraderie makes coming to work something I genuinely look forward to. It’s a rare and wonderful combination of professional growth and personal joy, and I’m grateful to be a part of such a fantastic team.

My Martin Horn career began in 1986 working summers from college break as a laborer. I began working full time in 1988, and after a few years was given the opportunity to be a superintendent and eventually project manager. Now it’s thirty-five years later and I’ve had the privilege of overseeing some landmark Charlottesville projects like Kenwood Library at Monticello, the Renovation of Montalto, and the UVA Baseball Stadium. I have been truly blessed to be a part of the Martin Horn family.

I am proud to say I work for Martin Horn. They care about their employees and make working in construction fun. You also get to work on some iconic Charlottesville projects as well as projects that have a real impact on the community. Martin Horn combines the culture of a small family company with the skill and expertise of a large GC firm.

What I truly appreciate about Martin Horn is the feeling that everyone is valuable and appreciated. Regardless of your tenure or position, your opinion matters, and everyone has a chance to be heard. We work hard but also have a lot of fun - a sense of humor is kind of a prerequisite.

In today’s world of complexity, Martin Horn is a relationship-driven family corporation deeply committed to a simple set of virtues. It’s an organization of people striving to extend a legacy of doing the right thing for its customers, business partners, and community alike. I admire the degree to which people of varying backgrounds, ages, race, gender, and talent are warmly embraced and provided opportunities to grow and flourish!
