    From Founder to Future: Leading Across Generations

    In this Season 3 premiere of Brubacher and Beyond, three generations of the Brubacher family sit down for an honest conversation about the company’s beginnings, growth, and evolution. Founder Ben Brubacher shares how his Mennonite farm upbringing, early experience running equipment, and willingness to take risks led to the start of the company in 1971. From pushing dirt in a horse-and-buggy farming community to taking on major commercial projects like the Morgantown Mall, the episode explores the grit, financial risk, and relentless work ethic that shaped the organization. President Keith Brubacher and the next generation, Clark Brubacher, reflect on how the company has matured—prioritizing employee development, wellness resources, and a more intentional approach to work-life balance. This episode is a conversation about legacy, reputation, calculated risk, and the lessons learned from decades of shaping the world we live in.
