Fun Fact: Tanner has an identical twin who lives in the same neighborhood.
Some more fun and interesting facts about Tanner:
If you could choose any celebrity to be your best friend, who would it be?
If I could choose any celebrity, it would have to be Tom Cruise! Top Gun is one of my favorite movies, and it’s a bucket list item of mine to fly in a jet!
What is an achievement you are proud of?
I started my career when I was only 16, right here at GFP, and have been with the company ever since. At just 19 years old, I was promoted to Foreman. Thanks to the success of my career, I was able to buy my first house at 23 years old.
What does a perfect day off look like for you?
A perfect day off for me is spending time hanging out with my family! Although spending a day driving Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park doesn’t sound so bad either.

One of my proudest achievements is building a life for myself after moving back to the U.S. at 15. I’ve been working since then, even without a high school diploma or college degree. By the age of 20, I was able to buy my first house — something most people can’t say they’ve done!

OPERATIONS
Dominic
President
Dominic
Originally from Toughkenamon, Pennsylvania, Dominic was introduced to hard work at an early age. He spent long days after school and on weekends helping on his grandfather’s mushroom farm, where he learned the value of dedication, discipline, and showing up every day. After moving to Wilmington, Delaware at age 13, he carried that same work ethic with him, working seven days a week at his stepfather’s butcher shop. By 14, Dominic had taken a summer job in the concrete industry — an opportunity that would unknowingly lay the foundation for his future career.
In 2012, he founded GFP Companies with the launch of GFP Cement Contractors LLC, now a leading provider of concrete construction services throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. As the business grew, Dominic identified a gap in the market for small on-site concrete pours—a challenge he tackled by founding GFP Mobile Mix Supply LLC in January 2019.
Today, Dominic continues to bring innovation and grit to the construction industry, leading both companies with the same work ethic that shaped his early years. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife of over 30 years and their three daughters.
