Don Truetken - President/Owner
Don
Truetken has been in the construction business for over 30 years since
the age of 10, working in his father's business.
Upon graduation from college, he worked primarily as a
construction manager for two separate companies in the Dallas/Fort Worth
area. After quickly rising
to top management in those companies, Capitol Marble and Granite hired
him to manage their newly developed construction division.
In 1985, Mr. Truetken came to
Indianapolis, to begin construction on the first Capital Center building
for R.V. Welch Investments. After
completion of many high-rise stone cladding projects throughout the
U.S., he returned to Indianapolis to transform the skyline in to what we
see today.
In 1989, After Cold Spring Granite
Company purchased Capital Marble and Granite.
Mr. Truetken became Cold Spring's Operations Manager of its
Structural Installation Group. During
his employment with Cold Spring, he was instrumental in his division
400% growth in 3 years. Upon
completion of Eli Lilly's research facilities in 1992, he formed his
business, Progressive Construction Services Inc.
Drawing upon his extensive experience in
the design, fabrication, and installation of granite, marble and
limestone, Mr. Truetken took the start up company to a leadership
position in the granite, marble and limestone industry.
John Rupp - Vice President
Having
completed college, John was recruited by Don Truetken to join him in
1988. He assumed duties as
a Project Engineer for the major stone supplier for whom Mr. Truetken
was employed. John
immediately began engineering and designing drawings on projects the
company currently had under contract.
His experience in the detailing, design, and approval process
proved invaluable when installing the pre-assembled stone trusses he had
been working on. John's experience in design, fabrication, assembly, and
eventually the construction of stone cladding systems has made him a
popular choice among superintendents and field personnel. He also has extensive experience in both large and small
mausoleum construction. He
has played a key role in the success of Progressive Construction
Services, Inc.
Leticia Reed - Controller
Leticia
joined Progressive Construction Services, Inc. in September of 2001.
Since then, she has helped integrate document control issues that
affect the construction projects and accounting. She serves as a
principal liaison to our clients, project team members and management.
She has helped implement a new accounting software system for the
company, which will enable Progressive to better track job costing for
each project from start to finish. She has systemized the company to be better organized for the
future and act pro-actively in accomplishing each task. She is a
dedicated team player that has served as a major part in Progressive's
success.

Cindy is involved in the design, construction,
and planning of some of the most prestigious projects throughout the

experience over the 15 years of working for one of worlds largest
