Employee Check-In
Then & Now
Meet Shannon
Shannon Metoxen, Vice President of our Milwaukee Division, has been with JP Cullen since 1999 starting as an intern:
“The photo to the right includes our Owners, all our Project Managers, Estimators, and our Young Leaders for the entire company. Now our Young Leader Group alone has more people in it. Amazing, the growth we have had over the last 25 years. My advice to young people is to find a Mentor and ask a lot of questions, not only on the “office” side but the field side. Ask how and why, and you will be a better builder for it.”
