The CTI Group

President and CEO

Rich started his career in construction as a means to support himself through college at Cal State Northridge. Working in the trades, Rich developed a passion for construction that would ultimately lead to his creation of Commercial Tenant Improvement in 1987.

In 1989, Rich was offered a construction job with Federated Department Stores. During his time working with Federated, Rich continued to build and develop his company. After many successful years with Federated Department Stores, Rich made the decision to devote all his energy into further developing and growing CTI into a successful, full-service general contracting company.

Recently, Rich has expanded Commercial Tenant Improvement into the recently formed CTI Group. The CTI Group encompasses Commercial Tenant Improvement, CTI General Contractors, and Sport Builders Group, with more ventures to come.

Through the years, Rich and his staff have built several iconic locations in the Southern California Area. He and his staff are proud to have built a client base off of primarily repeat and referral-based business, which inspired the CTI's motto: "Building relationships, one projects at a time".

Senior Project Manager

Dario started his career in construction in New York City nearly 40 years ago. He has been actively managing projects in the Southern California Area for the past 30 years.

Dario began his relationship with Rich while working on Macy's Department Stores in the mid-1990's. Throughout the years, he continued a successful work relationship with Rich and CTI. In 2003, he left his previous company for a full-time position with Commercial Tenant Improvement and has grown to become CTI's Senior Project Manager.

Superintendent

Pollo started his career in construction with Commercial Tenant Improvement at the age of 22. With tutelage from Dario over the years, he has become a great asset to CTI as a superintendent. He is currently responsible for overseeing and managing T.I. projects.
