MEET THE TEAM

Zach comes from a family of artists and original thinkers. His father, Stuart Heir is a photographer and graphic artist and his brother, Alexander Heir, is an illustrator, musician, and clothing designer. As someone fascinated by architecture and building craft, Zach pursued a formal education in preservation carpentry at the North Bennett Street School in Boston. There, he learned time-honored building methods and acquired, through repetition and study, a tactile understanding of the fine details of the craft of construction. In 2014, Zach relocated to San Francisco to continue working as a carpenter for high-end Bay Area contractors. Climbing the ranks from carpenter, to superintendent, to project manager, Zach blended his technical construction skills with effective team management strategies, superior client engagement, and creative problem-solving skills.

As Office Manger, Brian manages accounting for all projects. That includes contracts, subcontracts, payroll, systems and software. He is a key factor in enabling AGC to run smoothly and coordinate time, labor, materials, and subcontractors for many jobs at once. Born in California, Brian appreciates the Bay Area’s consistent weather after spending 16 years on the East Coast. His favorite things include his family, fantasy football, and rooting for the Giants, 49ers, or Warriors teams.

After his first construction project, a tree house when he was a kid, Aaron knew he was onto something. In the time between that tree house and founding AGC, the native San Franciscan worked for his father, manufacturing speakers in the car audio industry. He developed his instincts for business there, and later honed them when he earned a business degree from Sonoma State University. Following graduation, Aaron worked as a stagehand and set builder. He also started doing small construction projects in his spare time. As the projects became larger in scope, Aaron decided to get his general contractor’s license and combine his passion for building with his passion for business. He has never looked back. Now, as a high-end builder, he loves to tackle challenging and complex state-of-the art projects. When he’s not working, Aaron spends time with his wife and son, rides his road bike with Chris, and goes rock climbing in San Francisco.
