Meet the Experts.
Tim Hammond
President
President
A less than enjoyable summer of building outdoor decks as a teen fortunately didn’t discourage Tim from a construction career! He discovered his calling in construction with his second construction position – installing acoustical ceiling grids. “I loved the precision of that work,” he recalls, “The calculations, measuring, it all clicked.”
From there he went into drywall installation and over the next 20+ years, Tim’s career and responsibilities expanded to working as a Framer, Foreman, General Superintendent, Estimator, and Project Manager. Tim joined RDS in 2014 as an Estimator and Project Manager after providing subcontracting services to the company for several months. In 2017, Tim was promoted to Vice President, and he took on the position of President in 2020. A Colorado native since age 5, Tim and his family enjoy year-round outdoor activities – camping, snowboarding, water sports, and traveling.
Gary Cummings
VP of Operations
Gary knew from an early age growing up in Pueblo, Colorado that he would be a builder. At age 11 he constructed an elevated backyard clubhouse from scrap material discarded at nearby building sites. Gary studied construction throughout high school, simultaneously earning a vocational degree through the local community college.
After he and his wife moved to Denver in 1982, Gary served as an apprentice for Randy J St. Antoine, working on the Wells Fargo Center “Cash Register Building.” He advanced in that company as a Journeyman, Foreman, Senior Project Manager, and Estimator.
After a few years in semi-retirement, Gary got back in touch with Randy and Tim in 2016 and joined RDS as a project manager. Currently, as the Director of Project Management, he is responsible for fostering continuous improvement in the organization and promoting the efficiency, productivity, and profitability of the firm’s projects.
Gary and his wife escape to their condo in Gulf Shores, Alabama several times a year – often with their children and grandchildren – for beach time and off-shore fishing.

Jason Jedlowski
VP of Sales and Estimating
VP of Sales and Estimating
Jason got his feet wet (way too often!) in the construction field working for his dad’s plumbing business. “I have all the respect in the world for construction teams working onsite, but I knew then that my preferred construction tools would be pencils and calculators – and of course later on, more sophisticated estimating systems!”
After earning his construction management degree from Michigan State University, Jason began his career in the drywall construction industry. For more than 20 years he’s held leadership positions in project engineering, management, and estimating, with a focus on healthcare and tech projects.
Along the way, Jason crossed paths with Gary, Tim, and Randy, even collaborating on a project. He joined RDS in early 2021 and was promoted to Vice President of Sales and Estimating in the Fall of 2022. While Jason misses the surfing opportunities he enjoyed previously in Oregon, he was happy to return to the Denver area with RDS to be closer to family and the mountain recreation life. Jason, his wife, and their two teenage children enjoy outdoor sports, including mountain biking and snowboarding.
