Bill Riggs, Vice-President/Sales Professional 1997
Bill began his career in the family business as a laborer during the summers while attending high school at CBC. It was during that time he discovered he enjoyed the construction industry.

Immediately after high school, Bill joined the Carpenters Union and began his apprenticeship. Over the next four years of his apprenticeship, it was apparent that Bill's abilities and creativity were well suited for the intricate craftsmanship of finish carpentry. He excelled as a finish carpenter and Project Manager, specializing in interior renovations and jobs that take that "special touch".

Currently, Bill is working as a design/sales professional for the company. "I enjoy the beginning of the process with our clients; it is very different from being in the field where I was working only toward the completion of a project." Bill has also earned the designation of Certified Green Professional (CGP) which he uses in the business to help clients who want to “Go Green”.

Outside of the business, Bill enjoys working on the many volunteer projects he has coordinated and/or built in our community. He spends his free time with his family; sons Jacob and Evan keep him and his wife, Jenny, very busy.

Brian Marquis, Project Manager 1986
Being the son of one of the finest finish carpenters that has ever worked at Riggs, Brian has followed in his father's footsteps. He too, is a fine finish carpenter, capable of producing the most beautiful custom woodwork that rivals even his fathers.

Brian says, "I enjoy the challenge of remodeling and finish work. I take pride in seeing the finished product." He specializes in interior renovations and jobs that need his expertise due to their intricate nature.

In his spare time, Brian loves to be outdoors for relaxation: hunting, fishing and/or camping. For his adrenaline rush, Brian drives a race car.

Brett Randoll, Project Manager 1992
Brett came to Riggs as a second term apprentice carpenter after completing two years at Ranken Technical College and two years of drafting at Kaskaskia College. Brett acquired a “taste” for the construction industry working for his future father-in-law’s construction company during summers and on weekends. This experience solidified Brett’s decision to pursue carpentry as his career choice. While at Ranken, Brett took 1st place at the Regional V.I.C.A. (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America) competition and 2nd place at the State level. This honor recognizes his outstanding abilities.

Brett’s passions outside of work include his volunteer work with Rebuilding Together and time with his wife and their three children.
