Cell: 717-756-2604

 

 

Stan began his career at Caretti in the 1990’s after completing his apprenticeship for both stone and brick masonry as well as undergoing training as a tile setter. Based upon his attention to detail and his desire to expand upon his level of skill and knowledge, he was promoted to a project foreman very early in his career. In time, Stan was given the task of supervising and managing projects which were increasingly intricate in nature. Although his training had focused on new construction stone masonry, he expressed a desire to focus on repair and restoration projects and was subsequently re-assigned to the firms restoration division in 2003. Serving as lead foreman, he successfully performed numerous high profile and/or historical projects including several landmark structures. He was promoted to Field Superintendent of the division in 2008 supervising a crew of approximately 10 project foremen and 35 to 40 field technicians.
