The Corporate Branch opened in 1924 in Stockton, CA. The company is led by Co-CEO’s Kevin Gini and Brian Gini. The Stockton State Hospital was the first major project completed by Corporate in 1929, leading to more significant projects today including UC Merced in 2020, Project Big Bird in 2021, and the Stanislaus County Courthouse predicted to be completed in 2024.
Brian Gini began working as the Corporate Branch Manager in October of 2013.

Before joining the Corporate office in 2019, Ryan worked as a Foreman on the UC Merced 2020 project, leading crews in many student housing buildings. Following that, he held positions in the Corporate Estimating department, starting as an Estimator and eventually becoming an Estimating Manager. During this time, he was responsible for preparing bids for various projects, such as Faraday Future, Niagara STK4, Amazon Big Bird, and the Stanislaus County Courthouse.
