Mark has been a part of the Veit team since 2000. Today he is the Chief Operations Officer at Veit National. In this role, he oversees CIPP operations here at Veit National.

Mark enjoys the entire process of winning work, earning repeat business, and satisfying customers. He takes a great deal of pride in what his field crews can accomplish and sees them as the key to Veit National’s success: “Our field crews do a great job, and that’s really what sells our repeat work.”

He attended Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, where he earned his degree in environmental studies. Before joining the Veit family in 2000, Mark managed a spill response group with his previous employer, which he says was similar to an operations manager role.

Mark says that he has always looked up to his parents. His father was a butcher, and his parents both did whatever they had to do to support their kids. Today, Mark is married with two grown kids of his own. In his free time, his passion is fishing and hunting — mostly for deer, elk, grouse, and ducks.

Tim joined the Veit National team in 2020, bringing with him over 30 years of industry-leading knowledge in utility rehabilitation. Today he is the President of Veit National and works to manage and lead the Veit National team.

His work led him to the founding of AITC (American Infrastructure Technologies Corp.) in 2006, which would go on to become Veit National in 2020.

Tim has been married for 26 years to his wife Georgia, and their daughter Alexandra is currently enrolled in Fordham Law School. When he isn’t working, he loves traveling Europe, kayaking, and spending time at the beach.

Chester Grace joined the Veit National team in 2022 and brings over 20 years of experience in the demolition industry. Today, he is our Senior Project Manager for Demolition, which has him overseeing all of our demolition operations.

Chester works closely with his son Jacob, a Veit National project manager, to collaboratively lead and grow the Veit National Demolition division. Before working for Veit National, Chester started his life by joining the U.S. Army after graduating high school, where his MOS was fire direction center for an 8” howitzer at Fort Sill in Oklahoma.

After this Chester began his work in demolition, where over the years he has gained experience working for multiple contractors in various regions, even helping to start the demolition divisions for both Southwest Demolition and The Demo Company, before ending up at Veit National.

Besides demolition, Chester is most excited about helping to establish and grow the values of Veit National in their team. “Maintaining a healthy work relationship with our employees and those who will join the team is of the utmost importance.”

When he’s not working, Chester can be found spending time with his family or taking part in one of his many hobbies which include golfing, boating, fishing, gardening, and road trips just to name a few.
