Adolfson & Peterson Appoints John Herrera as New COO with Deep Jobsite Experience
Adolfson & Peterson has named John Herrera its new chief operating officer, effective October 1. A long-time company employee who started at age 18 as a laborer and rose through the ranks to regional president of AP Mountain States, Herrera brings extensive operational experience from across multiple states including Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and Utah.
