John Oswald

Managing Partner and CFO
John Oswald is currently a Managing Partner at American Contracting & Building. John has been self-employed for over 25 years in the Construction industry. John believes his success in an industry where companies come and go can be traced to my Dad who served 20 years in the USAF reaching the rank of Lt. Colonel, and after retiring from the Air Force moved to the Aerospace industry where he worked his way to upper management. Honor and Integrity were not just words in our household – But rather how we were expected to live our life.

John is not just a contractor – he has years of experience in the construction trades. John started working in Plumbing right out of High School and went through the Plumber’s Union Journeyman course. John worked for a Contractor building houses during the Summers when he was in college getting a degree in Business Administration. After finishing college, John worked Full time for 8 years under a Framing Contractor where he learned how to build custom homes from the ground up. John started doing construction projects for customers on his own and obtained my California Contractor License in 2002. John kept busy full-time as a sole proprietor until Nicholas and John teamed up in 2017. “The experience and knowledge gained over the years have been invaluable when overseeing projects like the “General.” I always strive to get the job done, and done right, to the highest level of quality the first time. I have always placed the importance of quality over profit.”

When you enjoy what you do, the days go by quickly. When John is not working, he has two wonderful children that he loves spending time with; a Son 17 at Peninsula High and Daughter 21 at USC. They like snow sports, surfing, and off-road motorcycles. They also try to make time to play guitar and piano.
