Mark Petersen - President

After nearly 20 years of Fortune 500 experience in sales and management, Mark Petersen pursued his entrepreneurial dreams by joining his father in purchasing BASIC and spearheading the evolution of the company's management strategy.

"After the three former transitions in original ownership, I wanted to carry on the tradition of company loyalty to both clients and employees. I aimed to unite my corporate experience with the personal touch of my father's legacy and give BASIC improved organizational strength while remaining a family-oriented business."

Brian Forret - Vice President of Business Development and Client Relations

After serving in the military, Brian started his construction career in 1993 as a tower crane operator. He came to BASIC as a dirt foreman and worked his way up the ranks to executive management and business development. Brian has worked on hundreds of site construction projects and helped substantially grow company revenue.

"The biggest change I see that has allowed for BASIC's continued success is our commitment to value-added consulting during the bid phase. My goal is to offer field perspective to strategize the best possible value per site work dollar spent. BASIC has always had a reputation for client satisfaction and for being a company of our word. I feel we will continue to live up to this motto by improving our business to meet the needs of our clients. Times are changing but so are we...for the better."
