We Serve DFW’s Expanding Needs

Gary E. Reynolds

Mr. Reynolds began working in road construction on a part-time basis in 1967 for Texas Bitulithic Company (now APAC, Inc.), on various asphalt paving and lime stabilization crews, while also serving two years on the construction of DFW International Airport. He studied Civil Engineering at Tarleton State and UT Arlington while working part-time at Texas Bitulithic. In 1972, he worked for six months as a truck dispatcher at a local aggregate hauling company but realized his passion was in the road construction business and returned to Texas Bitulithic while continuing his studies in Civil Engineering at UTA. In 1974, Mr. Reynolds began working full-time in the industry when he took a foreman position at an excavation company. During his seven years with Orval Hall Excavating, Inc., Mr. Reynolds performed various road and site projects, was involved in estimating projects, and was promoted to General Superintendent for his last two years with the company.

Mr. Reynolds became a partner with Mr. Meto Miteff, an attorney, in 1981, in an asphalt business that Mr. Miteff purchased (obtained the stock of Dalworth Plumbing and Heating, doing business as Metro Asphalt, which later became Reynolds Asphalt & Construction Company). Mr. Reynolds began serving as company President at that time.

During his 43-year tenure at RAC, Mr. Reynolds developed and directed all aspects of RAC’s operations, including implementing all policies and procedures. He was responsible for overseeing the Company’s overall strategic direction, while watching the Company grow from 5 employees in 1981 to the present 200 employees. To date, Mr. Reynolds maintains a highly visible oversight position in all of the company’s operations, including weekly scheduling meetings, on-site consultation and inspections, plant operations, and accounting and financial oversight.
