"Colin Reger’s journey reflects a rare combination of grit, faith, and disciplined leadership forged through both triumph and adversity. Raised in rural central Appalachia in a family surviving on just $40 a month after bills, Colin learned early what resilience truly requires. After graduating college with $170,000 in student loan debt and limited economic opportunity in his hometown, he carved his own path—starting as an underpaid accounting assistant before rising to CFO of a major industrial and energy construction company by age 27.

In 2016, Colin founded his first construction business, scaling it rapidly to more than $8M in revenue with strong profitability. But when the pandemic halted capital projects overnight, the debt-fueled growth strategy unraveled. Colin endured a year hovering near bankruptcy, missed mortgage payments, a collapsing business, and the emotional toll of nonstop panic attacks and depression. From that rock bottom, Colin rebuilt methodically. Applying every lesson learned, he launched a new construction company grounded in responsible, capital-efficient growth to achieve greater revenue and profitability than ever before.
