JOB HISTORY
2000-2007 - Large Resorts, Medical Center - Since the turn of the century Geary Construction has provided considerable excavation work in the rapidly expanding Summit County commercial real estate business.

1940s - Start-up, Emergence of The Geary Way - Dean Geary hand-picked and personally trained all of his employees in "The Geary Way". This meant when the crew went on a job site everyone knew how the work was to be done and everyone was accustomed to working with each other. This training enabled Geary Construction to perform various construction techniques more effectively than most companies. This became an important source of our competitive edge. As newer and younger employees were hired, our more seasoned and experienced employees began passing on the skills they learned form Dean. Everyone benefitted from his many years of practical expericence.
