SEQUOIA PACIFIC BUILDERS - Key Persons
Chris Eatough has guided Sequoia Pacific Builders, Inc. since September 1981, when he founded the company in Roseville, California. A graduate of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, where he obtained a degree in architecture, Chris also co-founded Eatough & Borges Architects with a classmate in 1984. The two businesses complemented each other during the ensuing 14 years, and Chris sold his interest in the architectural firm in 1998 to focus solely on the growing construction business. Chris makes a point of being accessible to all of Sequoia Pacific's clientele and employees. He meets regularly with current and prospective clients, lending his architectural expertise as needed, and he remains involved with all day-to-day activities of the company.
In his dual role as Chief Estimator and one of the company's Project Managers, Dario oversees conceptual budgeting as well as hard-bid estimating on projects of all sizes while also working closely with the company's select subcontractors. On awarded projects, he works hand-in-hand with subcontractors, reviewing budgets and schedules to guarantee that each job is completed within budget and that each customer's expectations are exceeded.
Nyle Keller already had 25 years of accounting, budgeting, and financial management experience by the time he joined Sequoia Pacific Builders in 2007.

At Sequoia Pacific, Nyle carefully reviews all in-progress work, analyzing budgets, percentage of completion, and construction job cost maintenance. He also supervises the office accounting staff.
