With 50 years of combined experience, Salyer and Kinney will elevate AP to meet demands of the growing industry.

Additionally, Salyer will collaborate with regional leadership, act strategically to drive innovation and new business, manage collaborative team and project processes and provide direction for sales processes, strategy development and project negotiation.
As the vice president of operations, Kinney will provide the Southwest region strategic leadership by managing internal operations and developing new market opportunities while working with the regional leadership team and other areas across the company to build collaboration and market strength. Kinney will lead regional business operations, develop and implement strategic business plans and relationships, ensure excellent operational efficiency and partner with leadership to drive and produce regional market results. With over three decades in the industry, Kinney worked on several projects in the multi-family, senior living, K-12 education and other market sectors. Kinney also brings large project and program experience, having worked on several programs in excess of $100 million. These experiences reinforce his skills in risk management, preconstruction services, driving operations and team leading abilities. As a NAIOP and ABA member, Kinney is committed to evolving his practice and driving business in the construction space.
