Our Team

Family is the biggest driving force in Mike’s life. He married his wife 30 years ago, together raising two kids who have now gone on and started their own families. He is a grandfather of three and in 2020 he and his wife adopted a little girl around the age of their grandkids. Gathering together as a family and watching the children spend time together is the highlight of his life. Mike started in glass 28 years ago; he was just 17 and worked as an assistant. He has gone from carrying people’s tools and cleaning job sites to owning Chesapeake Glazing. Starting at the bottom has given him a unique understanding of everything that goes into executing successful projects. In his free time, Mike enjoys traveling, coaching youth football, and fishing.

Veteran, family man, youth football coach, avid hunter — Warren is one who wears many hats in life. Prior to joining Chesapeake Glazing in 2018, he served in the United States Army, completing duty stations in Fort Knox, KY; Baumholder, Germany; Kunduz, Afghanistan; and Fort Hood, TX. Today he is a valued senior project manager with our company, keeping tabs on all elements of an install to ensure our work is top notch. When not in the office or on a job site, Warren is spending quality time with his wife, daughter, and son. He coaches football for the Mt. Airy Bulldogs and enjoys hunting white tailed deer and black bear at his family’s cabin in Pennsylvania.”

Aaron is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to glazing. Having spent nearly two decades in the industry (and starting at Chesapeake in 2011), he knows all the ins-and-outs and has been witness to the evolution of our business, technology, and processes. Aaron’s role with our company expands beyond project management; he also oversees our safety and quality control operations. The meaning of multitasking is not lost on Aaron; he is a proud father of two teenagers (Connor, 15 and Madison, 13), keeping him busy with events and activities outside the office. When looking to relax, Aaron enjoys skiing, mountain biking, golf and a good game of corn hole.

Tom started in the glass business right out of high school when we was just 18 years old. We all have to start somewhere, right? He worked his way up from laborer to foreman, then joined Chesapeake Glazing, where he progressed from foreman, to field superintendent, to where he sits today as senior superintendent. Having spent time at every level in the field, Tom is an expert in production and seeing a project through to completion. We’re lucky to have his knowledge leading our team. In his spare time, Tom enjoys spending time with his wife, Justine, and daughter, Chloe. He likes to tinker on his car and motorcycles and take trips with his family.

Joanna is a Carroll County Career and Technology School success story: she completed the drafting program and obtained her AutoCAD certification there, all while enrolled in high school at Century High in Sykesville, MD. (If that sounds like a lot of hard work, that’s because it is.) A month after her high school graduation in 2017, Joanna joined us at Chesapeake Glazing to assist with drafting. She officially moved into the roll of estimator in 2019. Joanna feels fortunate that she was able to launch her career so quickly following high school; the work she’s done and people she’s met have all pushed her to grow both professionally and personally. She credits where she is in life today to the opportunities she has taken advantage of and support and advice from coworkers.

Andrew brings a mix of experience from construction, fieldwork, drafting, and private investigation—yes, he’s followed people for a living, and no, he’s not watching you now. He studied criminal justice and transitioned into the glazing industry after realizing how much he enjoyed solving practical problems and making things run smoother.

As an estimator, Andrew focuses on producing clean, accurate bids and finding small process improvements that help keep things moving efficiently. Outside of work, he’s a husband and dad to five kids, and he spends most of his free time with family, training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or working on small projects that keep his curiosity active.

Danny is one of our project managers at Chesapeake Glazing, but he is also our resident outdoorsman. When not at work, he can most likely be found training horses or giving guided horseback tours through some of Maryland’s beautiful nature trails. In the colder months, you might even find him instructing ski lessons.

Danny started in the glazing industry more than 18 years ago, first as a drafter, then moving into a project management role when he joined Chesapeake Glazing. We deeply value his wide range of skills, deep knowledge of the industry, and positivity when it comes to taking on new challenges.

Born in Catonsville, Matthew spent his childhood in York, PA before moving back to the Baltimore area as an adult. He is an Army veteran, having flown drones in his first job before starting work at a decorative glass company in 2015. This was when his interest in glass and construction began to grow. Matt worked his way from basic laborer to shop manager to project manager in a few years, then decided he wanted to do more than just glass. He discovered Chesapeake Glazing, and the rest is history. In his spare time, Matthew can be found watching football and cheering on his fantasy team. He enjoys spending time with his fiancé, Sarah, and watching Netflix.

If there’s someone at Chesapeake Glazing who knows about hard work, dedication, and how to operate as part of a team, it’s Colby.

Colby joined Chesapeake Glazing immediately following his undergraduate degree at Davidson College, where he was a Division I football player. While balancing his life as a student athlete, Colby learned the importance of strategy, commitment, and communication —- all things he carries with him today in his role as assistant project manager. He enjoys continuing to learn about the industry and grow with our team.

Colby is the oldest of six children; spending time with his family is very important to him. A native of Baltimore, he is of course a big Ravens and Orioles fan and can be found cheering them on (whenever he isn’t watching Star Wars).

With more than 18 years in the glazing industry, Eric brings a rare mix of technical expertise and team leadership to Chesapeake Glazing. He earned a B.S. in Product Design from The Pennsylvania College of Technology, leading to engineering roles at Oldcastle Building Envelope, Solar Innovations, Graham Architectural Products, and Intertek. He later spent eight years with a commercial lighting manufacturer, finishing as Engineering Manager.

From there, Eric moved into project management for another glazing subcontractor while running his own drafting business. One of those projects, a set of shop drawings for Chesapeake Glazing, sparked the conversation that ultimately brought him on board.

Eric enjoys guiding teams to achieve more together than they could alone, then analyzing the process to make it even better the next time. Outside of work, he loves traveling with his wife, hiking, and seeing live music. At home, he can often be found with his wife and two dogs, sometimes with a guitar in hand.

Before entering the glazing industry, Bobby worked on a panel crew in tilt-up construction, building warehouses and distribution centers. That experience sparked his interest in the field and led him to pursue drafting, which brought him into the glazing world. He worked for another glazing subcontractor for more than five years but ultimately wanted to grow into project management as a career, which is what led him to Chesapeake Glazing.

Bobby takes pride in delivering projects on time and under budget while maintaining strong relationships with vendors, shop and field teams, and general contractors. He enjoys finding efficiencies that improve results without sacrificing quality and loves visiting the shop and job sites to see drawings come to life.

Outside of work, Bobby stays active with wakeboarding, wake surfing, and jet skiing during annual trips to his uncle’s lake house in Canandaigua, NY. He also enjoys snowboarding in the winter, golfing in the summer, and lifting weights at the gym, calves included. His personal goal is to visit a new country every year.

Phil is an advocate for mentorship. For sharing the knowledge he’s collected over the years with team members — especially those new to the work. With more than a decade of experience at Chesapeake Glazing alone, Phil understands how complex glazing can be and how rapidly things change within the industry. He says adapting to those changes can be challenging, but in the end, it’s what he finds to be most rewarding.

When not working, Phil enjoys spending time with family, particularly when they can get away to their vacation home in West Virginia. He was born and raised in Maryland, and today is raising his two children, Kyleigh and River, in the Baltimore-area.

Practically bursting with positivity, Ciro is an inspiration to everyone at Chesapeake Glazing. He came to the U.S. from Mexico, where he graduated from high school with a focus on ornamental fabrication. Building a successful, happy life for himself and his family was his goal in moving to the U.S., and today he is proud to see his daughter enrolled in college as a first generation student. Ciro started his career as a Laborer, then advancing to an Apprentice, Installer, Foreman, and now Field Superintendent with Chesapeake Glazing. He has studied English ESL, basic plumbing, and math since coming to the U.S.

John is proof that a good mentor can make an enormous impact on a career. He started in the glazing field in 1984 as an assistant. The man he worked under taught him everything there was to know about glazing, giving him the foundation he needed to build a career that has lasted a lifetime. He has since advanced to where he is today as our field superintendent, having first joined Chesapeake Glazing in 2014. When away from work, John enjoys tinkering in his garage on his muscle car (or really anything with a motor), his dog never too far from his side.

Priti brings more than 25 years of accounting and office management experience to her role at Chesapeake Glazing. She oversees compliance for contracts and accounting activities, along with payroll and employee benefits, ensuring these essential operations run smoothly. Known for her passion for fostering connection, Priti also enjoys organizing company events and creating opportunities for team building.

Outside of work, Priti cherishes time with her husband, two daughters, and especially her two granddaughters. She is an avid traveler and a dedicated volunteer at her temple, giving her time and energy to causes close to her heart.

Before joining Chesapeake Glazing, Chelsea worked at a grocery store front desk but sought greater opportunities. She began at Chesapeake as an assistant under the office administrator, a role that gave her valuable insight into the business world, the company’s operations, and the glazing industry as a whole. Over the years, she has expanded her responsibilities beyond reception to include accounting and billing, and has established herself as a notary for the state of Maryland.

Outside of work, Chelsea is most at home in nature, spending her time hiking, gardening, reading, or creating art. She tends her own garden filled with flowers, vegetables, and a variety of herbs, reflecting her deep passion for plants and the life lessons they offer. Years spent outdoors have taught her the importance and balance of life, and she has found that hands-on experience is the best teacher of all. When indoors, she enjoys cooking her favorite meals or treasure hunting in thrift stores. She shares her home with Snow, a very fluffy rescue cat who quickly worked her way into Chelsea’s heart.
