ARTHUR ARCINIEGA: PRESIDENT / CEO

​

Arthur Arciniega began his concrete construction career working summers as a concrete laborer with his fathers concrete construction business,  J. Arciniega Concrete in 1964, he was 14 years old. He learned the value of hard work, efficiency and a quality product. He also gained some experience in residential flatwork construction, residential foundations, commercial concrete and masonry work.

​

By 21 he had joined the cement Masons Union and worked in San Diego and Orange County in Southern California working on freeway construction projects, bridges, high rise buildings, schools, industrial concrete projects and housing tracts.

​

In 1972 he moved to San Jose and went to work for a local concrete contractor and gained experience in foundation construction. He worked as a foundation form setter and joined the Carpenters Union in 1975. As a carpenter he also learned framing and cut & set beams on housing tracts and did some exterior siding before coming back to concrete construction.

 

In the late 70’s he and his brother started Arcon Concrete Co. in San Jose. This is where the business experience from his father's construction company began to become more relevant. Sales, estimating, scheduling, equipment, field management, employee issues and proper paperwork are only some of the challenges that owners have to face. After some difficult years he decided to move in a different direction.

  

In 1985 he and Melody Gardner who had experience in a construction attorney’s office and in a grading contractors office began a new concrete construction business. Their goal was to create a concrete construction company that focused on professionalism, customer service and integrity. Professionalism, Service, Integrity, - PSI Concrete.

​

More than thirty years after PSI’s inception and over fifty years after those summers working with his father, Art Arciniega still remembers the value of hard work, efficiency and a quality product.

MELODY GARDNER: CFO

​

Melody Gardner began her construction career by working for a San Jose Law firm that specialized in construction litigation cases, more specifically cases that were in defense of contractors.  It was an extremely valuable experience and she learned the pitfalls and the legal obligations that are required to run a contracting operation.

​

After a few years at the law firm she went to work for a large scale grading and paving contractor.  She worked as one of the office staff and learned a lot about the operations at a larger construction company.

​

With the experience she brings to PSI she has strengthened the company’s professionalism and the processes that insure PSI is meeting not only its commitments to our customers but also its legal obligations for the business.
