Doug was working for a competitor that was going out of  business and we were quick to pick him up and he joined Ambassador in 2003. Doug started out as a trim carpenter. He worked his way up through the company to Vice President of Production and 2nd in command. Doug is extremely talented, organized and a great communicator. He is a great asset to our customers and everyone

Gene has amassed over 35 years of experience in the industry. His journey began under the tutelage of his father's best friend, who was a builder and their next-door neighbor. At the age of 15, during his school summers, Gene worked alongside them as a helper, performing clean-ups, moving lumber, and absorbing knowledge. He progressed from a junior carpenter to a carpenter and then a crew foreman. Alongside this hands-on experience, Gene completed his education, graduating from Northport High School and earning a bachelor's degree in economics with a minor in business management from the State University of NY at Oneonta. In 1999, he transitioned from physical labor to construction management, accumulating 24 years as a project manager to date.

 

Personally, Gene is a family man, married with two children, and is an avid outdoorsman! His hobbies include fishing, archery, hiking, and mountain biking when he is not working. Welcome to our family, Gene!

Ryan brings over 20+ years experience in the home improvement industry to the Ambassador team. he has worked in home improvement in almost every capacity from cleanup guy to framing foreman and has been a project manager for 18 years. He is extremely organized and thorough and is a great communicator. He has a vast product and construction knowledge and is an asset to our team and to our customers.

Gary's son Joshua graduated from Saint Anthony's High School and spent 2 years in college but has now decided to work with his father in their construction business. He is excited to learn all of the many aspects of the industry from his Dad, who has been tops in his field for many years. Joshua already has professional work ethics and a great attitude. He will be continuing the same standards that have made Ambassador successful; a focus on personalized service.
