Robert F. Leahey, President
In 2001, Bob assumed leadership of McCrossin following his father’s longtime service to the company as president and much-loved employee for over two decades. A graduate of Penn State University, Bob worked started his career with McCrossin in 1983 as a Superintendent, leaving in 1986 to join Centex Construction in Virginia. He returned to McCrossin in 1994, after having worked on notable projects such as the CIA headquarters in Langley, the Presidential Helicopter Facility, and the Portsmouth Naval Hospital.
As President, Bob has expanded McCrossin’s services in order to provide solutions for every owner’s need. His emphasis has been on increasing the company’s design-build capabilities and forming divisions within the McCrossin structure, so as to offer construction and foundations solutions under one roof.
