David Pararo has always enjoyed construction. From his time at the University of Florida, where he earned a degree in Building Construction, to his current role as President of Porter Steel, David has acquired a vast knowledge of construction over the 38 years he’s been in the industry.
A majority of David’s extensive career was spent working for two Top 25 Nationally Rated General Contractors. Over the years, these jobs took him from Atlanta to Washington, D.C., then to Orlando, and then back to Atlanta in 2000. Two of the highlights of David’s journey were the $360 million-dollar expansion of the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando and the $250 million-dollar expansion of the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
Just over a decade ago, David joined the team at Porter Steel, seizing the opportunity to work on the subcontractor side of the business. Although he has been involved in the development of many notable structures, David is still amazed by what Porter Steel’s talented team can create – from custom fabrications and steel frames to ornate/complex railings and bridgescapes.
David lives in Lilburn, Georgia, with his wife of 37 years, Sharon. He also has a 31-year-old son and a 28-year-old daughter.
