President and CEO

Chad Hirschi

I’m a builder at heart — of companies, projects, and people. Crystal and I are the Founders of Hirschi Companies

I’m a builder at heart — of companies, projects, and people. Crystal and I are the Founders of Hirschi Companies and lead our family of specialized construction and service businesses across Nevada, Arizona, and Utah — including Hirschi Masonry, Marnell Masonry, Hirschi Iron & Powder Coating, HaulCore Transport, and Brickhouse Fleet Services.

Our companies share a single vision: Build People, Projects, and Communities That Last. That means investing in our team’s growth, delivering exceptional craftsmanship, and giving back to the communities we help shape.

We’re driven by our core values — Win Work, Achieve Results, and Be Fulfilled. These guide how we work, lead, and live. Success isn’t just about what we build, but how we show up — with grit, purpose, and professionalism.

Around here, we call it Hirschi Horsepower — the relentless drive to outwork, outthink, and outperform while maintaining extreme professionalism and delivering the best client experience in the industry. At our core, we live by one truth: Expect More. It runs in our blood. We strive for excellence in everything we do — setting higher standards for ourselves, our partners, and our craft.

Our people are the foundation of that excellence. We hire top-tier talent, retain exceptional professionals, and create an environment of care, growth, and opportunity. When people join Hirschi, they join a team that invests in their success, challenges them to rise, and rewards them for it.

I’m passionate about faith, family, and freedom — and the responsibility that comes with each. That passion fuels my commitment to community impact and creating pathways of opportunity for others. Through initiatives like our Pathways School of Masonry — a vocational training program inside the Southern Desert Correctional Center — we help individuals gain real skills, restore confidence, and build new futures through the craft of masonry.

I believe success is measured not only in the structures we build but in the lives we shape. Our mission is to elevate our industry and uplift the communities we serve through excellence, integrity, and opportunity.Our companies share a single vision: Build People, Projects, and Communities That Last.

General Counsel

Ryan Daniels serves as General Counsel for Hirschi Companies, where he combines legal know-how with a knack for creative problem-solving. A graduate of the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, Ryan began his legal career in the high-stakes oil and gas litigation scene of Houston, Texas. After relocating to Las Vegas in 2013, he joined the law firm Kaempfer Crowell, where he spent over a decade representing clients in everything from civil rights cases and construction disputes to employment law and multimillion-dollar landlord/tenant matters.
At Hirschi, Ryan is focused on preserving the integrity of the company while supporting its continued growth—navigating legal risks without losing sight of business goals. He enjoys tackling novel legal issues almost as much as he enjoys winning them. He also volunteers with the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada and believes strongly in using his legal skills for good—whether that’s helping a client navigate risk or helping someone get a fresh start.

When he’s not neck-deep in contracts or court opinions, Ryan can be found chasing philosophical rabbit holes with friends, running solo to clear his mind, playing with his kids, or out on a date with his far better half.

Arizona Team

Division President

Division President

Arturo Sandoval

Arturo has spent over 12 years with Hirschi Masonry and has worked nearly every corner of the business.

Arturo has spent over 12 years with Hirschi Masonry and has worked nearly every corner of the business. He started as a Field Auditor, spent three years as a Residential Superintendent, then moved into Commercial Estimating.

When the company expanded into Arizona, Arturo moved his family to Phoenix to help build it. He came up through Project Manager, General Manager, and Operations Manager before stepping into his role as Division President.

Ask him what matters most and he'll point to the client experience. Not the sales pitch version. The kind where the GC and a Homebuilder knows exactly where the job stands and what happens next.

Off the clock he's with his family, walking Bogey and Bonita, camping, or getting a round in with his dad.

Project Manager

Jeff Vocana

Jeff has been with Hirschi Masonry since 2024 and brings more than 20 years of masonry experience from working throughout Nevada, California, and Arizona.

He has a Master of Business Administration from the University of Phoenix.

His extensive industry experience and business education give him a strong foundation for managing projects, coordinating teams, and delivering positive experience for clients.

In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and four kids

Project Manager

Bryson Uibel

Bryson has spent more than six years in construction, working closely with architects, engineers,

Bryson has spent more than six years in construction, working closely with architects, engineers, and specialty subcontractors. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Virtual Design and Construction, so he is as comfortable in the model as he is on the job site, and he uses both to keep work coordinated before problems reach the field.

While he was in college in Idaho, Bryson owned and ran his own steel business. Running a company at that age taught him what it takes to deliver for a customer, and it means he understands the job from the subcontractor's side of the contract as well as his own.

Outside of work he spends as much time outdoors as he can, and usually has a building project going at home.

Controller

Dow Livingston

Dow joined Hirschi Masonry Arizona in March 2025 as Controller, overseeing accounting operations

Dow joined Hirschi Masonry Arizona in March 2025 as Controller, overseeing accounting operations, financial reporting, cash management, and business performance analysis. He brings more than 11 years of accounting experience, including eight years as Controller for an electrical construction company.

Dow's career path has been anything but traditional. Before transitioning into accounting and finance, he built a successful career in hospitality, working as a chef and Food & Beverage Director. His passion for business operations and leadership ultimately led him to pursue financial management, where he combines operational insight with financial expertise to support strategic decision-making and organizational growth.

He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration and Hospitality Management from the New England Culinary Institute and an MBA from the University of Phoenix.

Outside of work, Dow enjoys cooking for family and friends and recently earned his PADI Open Water scuba diving certification. He enjoys learning daily.

Safety Manager

Rubon Caldwell

Rubon has been with Hirschi Masonry for three years. He started as an Estimator and moved into safety

Rubon has been with Hirschi Masonry for three years. He started as an Estimator and moved into safety, where he now leads the effort for the Arizona team.

That path matters more than it sounds. Coming from estimating, he knows what the work costs and how it gets built so when he's on a site, he's solving safety in a way that works with the schedule instead of against it.

Rubon holds his OSHA 30 and is CPR and First Aid certified, with additional safety certifications in progress.

Outside of work he's a proud girl dad. He enjoys family time, the outdoors, and a lot of hours on the sidelines cheering on his daughters.
