2026 Board Member Spotlight: Garrett McCullough, Past President

Tell us about your firm:
Marksmen General Contractors is a culture based, core values centered company that builds with a focus on excellence. We calm the chaos of construction projects while providing clients more clarity and greater insight. In every interaction, we strive to multiply trust, dissolve stress, and collaborate as purposeful partners. We do this through our core process of planning with precision, communicating with clarity, and executing with excellence.

How did you get your start in the A/E/C industry?
I sold wine for about a year right out of school before landing a job with an MEP Engineering firm in Dallas, there was an Aggie connection. After about 5 years there, we moved down to San Antonio where I started working for Marksmen GC. I love the industry, especially smaller firms, because you really get to champion, build, and manage a brand. 

What has been the most valuable lesson you’ve learned as a board member?
For anyone afraid of the time commitment or unsure if they are “ready,” trust that you are ready and know that the time you commit to the organization will bring positive return. Serving on the board is one of the best ways to grow in career.

How is the board positioning the organization to stay relevant in a changing A/E/C landscape? 
Maria and the board she assembled have done a phenomenal job of ringing in our 25th year as a chapter. Last year she led the charge to engage with our membership and lead the board through a strategic planning process. We’ve put together a plan that positions SMPS San Antonio as a leader in the A/E/C community today and for years to come.
