Team,

This past quarter has been one of the busiest we’ve ever experienced at Lightning. Many projects were both launched and completed within the same quarter—some of which weren’t even listed at the start. This added an unprecedented level of busyness to an already full schedule.

Your commitment has been nothing short of incredible. The 50+ hour weeks, weekend work, and the drive each of you brought to the table have made it possible to meet our goals and keep momentum moving forward.

We want to sincerely thank each of you for your dedication, resilience, and teamwork. Your hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed!

Grateful for each of you!

Congratulations Aaron Gillespie and Braden Hess for moving into a new position as Foreman.

Excited for each of you as you lead your crews toward successful projects and grow in your new leadership roles!

Congratulation to our 2025 ABC Graduates - We look forward to celebrating your accomplishment at our fourth Quarter Company Party! Thank you for your dedication to us and your craft!

Seth Hartman
