“John’s wealth of understanding and industry experience is unparalleled,” said Tarlton President Tracy Hart. “He consistently brings to every project the knowledge, experience and strong management skills that are instrumental to our growth and success as one of the region’s top builders.”

Doerr served as Chairman of the Building Division for the Associated General Contractors of Missouri in 2017 and has been an active member of the AGC since 1984. He is Chairman of the Saint Louis Art Museum Corporate Partnership Program and a member of the Signature Healthcare Foundation Board of Directors.
