Job Managers

Job Managers are in charge of the day-to-day construction on your job and runs the crew. This person will be assigned to your job and will be there essentially every day.

Walt Kelley is originally from Southern California. He joined the Semmes Team in December 1998. He is an excellent Journeyman Carpenter with experience in all aspects of construction. Walt enjoys spending time with his daughters, playing soccer, riding his motorcycle, and taking his boat out on the lake.

Greg Harder has been in construction all his life. After joining Semmes and Company, he quickly rose to the position of Job Manager. He likes being a part of the company because of the sustainable aspect of the work and because of his co-workers. When he doesn't have a hammer in his hand, he can be found on the golf course, the softball field, or spending time with his daughter.

Frank Perea is a resident of Los Osos and has been with the production team since February of 2002. He came to us with a degree in Wildlife Management and a lot of experience in construction. Frank's interest in alternative construction and his eye for detail have been a great asset to us and to our clients. Adding to the Semmes Family, Frank is also a first time father!

Matt Herndon is another local who came to us several years ago, pretty much right out of high school. He learned his trade quickly and now qualifies as Journeyman Carpenter. His free time will find him snowboarding the slopes of the Sierra or enjoying his first home with wife and daughter.

Chris Baranek has been with us since 2005 but has worked in construction for nearly ten years. Having grown up in Atascadero, Chris worked as a carpenter in Santa Barbara and in Santa Cruz before returning home and coming to work with his friends at Semmes and Co. He is an avid disk-golfer and can be found on the weekends helping maintain our local courses and playing a few rounds.
