How We Began

Our Roots

Founded in 2020 by Service-Disabled Veteran Scott Dahl, AmeriTech Contracting began as AmeriTech Mechanical with a simple yet powerful purpose: to make a meaningful impact for our clients, partners, and the communities we serve. Scott's unwavering determination, hands-on leadership, and commitment to excellence laid the foundation for a company built on integrity, trust, accountability, and service.

From the beginning, Scott was dedicated to creating opportunities for fellow veterans and building a company where hard work, character, and doing the right thing always came first. His belief in service extended far beyond the jobsite. It was about lifting others up, strengthening communities, and making a lasting difference in the lives of those around him.

In 2022, Andrew "Drew" DiSilvestro Jr. joined AmeriTech to lead the company's next phase of growth. Building on the strong foundation Scott established, Drew immediately secured more than $10 million in federal contracts, setting the stage for the company's rapid expansion. In December 2023, he became the majority owner, carrying Scott's vision forward while positioning AmeriTech for long-term success.

Under Drew's leadership, AmeriTech has grown to a team of more than 90 employees, expanded operations across 22 states, and secured more than $250 million in federal contracts. Today, the company is recognized as one of the nation's fastest-growing federal construction contractors, delivering mission-critical infrastructure projects for the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, FAA, and other federal agencies.

Although AmeriTech has grown tremendously, our purpose remains unchanged. Scott's legacy continues to guide our culture, while Drew's leadership continues to build upon that vision. Together, they represent the foundation of who we are today: a company committed to integrity, service, excellence, and creating opportunities for those who have served our country.
