The St. Petersburg office will support Landry/French’s continued growth in Florida and the broader Southeast market.

We’re excited to have him lead our efforts and establish a strong foundation in this market.”

He brings expertise in regional operations, client development, and project delivery throughout the Southeast. In his role, he will be responsible for overseeing regional strategy, business development, and operational performance while leading a local team in Florida.
