Rusty entered the asphalt industry in 1995 out of necessity. When he couldn't get a local paving company to respond to requests for work at his fuel distribution business, he assembled his own crew and performed the job himself. The quality of his work caught the attention of other businesses seeking reliable services, leading to the founding of AMI Construction.

A Nashville native, Rusty attended Montgomery Bell Academy and earned his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Florida. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Greater Nashville Apartment Association. Rusty served as the pastor of a church from 2014-2023 and considers AMI a faith-based company, operating with integrity and developing customers into lifelong fans of AMI!
