The Heart of RUSH: Our People

Meet Mark Amato:

Mark Amato, Superintendent, has been an essential part of the RUSH Construction team for the past 14 years. After being recruited by RUSH in 2000, Mark was met with a sense of belonging and support from the entire team. "It was great to know that I was now a part of something bigger than myself," says Amato, "with the capacity to achieve great things that only teams can achieve."

According to Mark, an admirable mix of integrity, team leadership, and the desire to provide the client with the best quality product makes RUSH stand out as an exceptional company. "I love my position on the team, and truly admire the passion of our team leaders and the level of team support available at all times."

When asked about his favorite RUSH Construction project to date, Mark mentions RUSH's current Ron Norris Dealership project, because it has provided a challenge, pushing the limits and further proving the ability of the RUSH team.

Raised in Titusville, FL, Mark has been married for 31 years, and has two sons, ages 23 and 20. With a great love for family and the outdoors, he spends his free time hunting, fishing, airboating, and four wheeling. It might not surprise you to learn that he also has a talent for archery, and is not a bad shot at the clay pigeons as well.

Mark's Favorite Quote: 5 Ps: "Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance."

Featured Project: Commissary Warehouse,

Kennedy Space Center, Florida

The Commissary Warehouse is the first of its kind at Kennedy Space Center. The 10,000 square foot, $1.9 million dollar project included site work, paving, utilities, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, interior finishes and a metal building structure. It also included large, drive-in coolers and freezers in support of the food service operations at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.

This facility was designed and constructed to meet all requirements for a LEED Silver Certification, which has officially been obtained from U.S. Green Building.

"To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity."
