John Gillen, Owner/Operator

I am the proud owner and operator for American Earthworks LLC. I am a Marine Corps Veteran who has a passion for all things heavy equipment. During my service in the Marine Corps I operated heavy equipment and managed a multitude of different earth moving projects such as: road construction, building pads, various ranges, and drainage improvements. After 10 years of honorable service I transitioned out of the military and became the foreman for a commercial construction company in North Carolina. In 2024 my wife and I decided to move back home to Kansas after our service to be closer to family and begin one of our own.
