Al Forbes serves as executive vice president of RUSH Construction Inc., a firm with a portfolio of Central Florida projects that includes commercial, medical, marine and aerospace clients, notably NASA and Kennedy Space Center. RUSH was founded 35 years ago and is an employee-owned company.
Before coming to RUSH, Forbes’ experience included manager of facility construction at Wuesthoff Health System in Rockledge and project manager at another local construction company, where he was in charge of overseeing the construction of medical and health facilities.
After a conversation with William Chivers, the president and CEO of RUSH who has led the company for the past 21 years, Forbes decided to make a change and helped spur the evolution of RUSH Construction from a government aerospace/defense contractor into a diversified firm that provides construction services in the medical, commercial and marine industries.
