Bradley E. Larson

Chief Executive Officer

Brad has been Chief Executive Officer of Meadow Valley since 1995. At the time he joined the company in 1994, Meadow Valley was restructuring itself from a privately held company whose founder had just passed away into a publicly-traded diversified corporation engaged in public infrastructure and heavy civil construction, as well as construction materials production. Brad’s leadership and management was crucial to a variety of successful corporate financings, including Meadow Valley’s own initial public offering completed in October of 1995, the initial public offering of the company’s materials production subsidiary, Ready Mix, Inc., in 2005, a private placement of Meadow Valley common stock in 2006 and the going-private leveraged buy-out of Meadow Valley in 2009.
After earning a BSE degree in Industrial Engineering from Arizona State University in 1979, Brad has focused his entire career on the construction industry in diverse capacities. His breadth of experience and win-win mentality has also been a key contribution to the oversight and strength of various industry associations while serving in multiple officer and director positions, having been active in the Associated General Contractors, Highway Users Association, Arizona Rock Products Association, Arizona-Mexico Commission, and other civic service organizations. Married for thirty-three years, Brad and wife, Bev, are the parents of five children and have ten grandchildren (soon to be eleven). Fluent in Spanish after living two years in Mexico, he later oversaw the start-up of a construction materials business in Mexico. When not working, Brad stays busy with his family, church, outdoor activities and travel. He fulfilled a life-long aspiration recently by traversing the Panama Canal; it seems no matter where he goes, what fascinates him the most is construction.
