From all across our state, the 2026 BIAW Senior Officers combine leadership, expertise, and fresh ideas to strengthen the homebuilding industry. Our 2026 president, Aaron Marvin, brings decades of hands-on construction experience and deep family roots in the industry to his term. As a co-founder of A.C.T. Builders, he has seen the challenges of building from every angle.
