Run by owners. Built for builders.
ACG is run by its two co-founders — Rielly and Connor Walsh, wife and husband. Every scope, every change order, every schedule commitment is an owner-level decision made by an owner.
A company is its operators.
Large glazing subcontractors hide behind layers of project engineers and regional managers. The GC who needs an answer never gets the person who actually makes the call. ACG is the opposite of that. The two people running the company are the same two people answering the phone.

Education
Middle Tennessee State University — B.S., Concrete Industry Management. MTSU is one of only four schools in the United States offering the specialized CIM program — a degree built directly with the American Society of Concrete Contractors and funded by the concrete industry itself. It is the closest thing in U.S. higher education to a trade-grade construction degree.
Prior experience
The Estates at Aqualina — lead superintendent, exterior stoneworks. Aqualina is the ultra-luxury oceanfront tower in Sunny Isles Beach where the stone facade, tile balconies, and exterior finishes set the building's entire identity. Running the exterior stone package there meant coordinating specialty trades, European material lead times, and luxury-grade punch standards — on a site where nothing short of perfect gets signed off.
At ACG
Rielly is CEO, co-founder, and the company's 51% majority owner — the basis of ACG's woman-owned status. She makes the calls on strategy, growth, and long-term direction: the Naples and Tampa office expansions, the operating discipline that sets ACG apart from legacy subcontractors, and the flagship manufacturer relationships with ESWindows and Euro-Wall.
Her background in concrete and stone is the unusual edge: most glazing executives have never worked the exterior envelope from the other side. Rielly has. She reads a building the way the GC does — in layers, sequences, and interfaces.

President · Co-founder
Prior career — aviation
Before construction, Connor flew as a commercial-rated private jet pilot, captaining three demanding airframes:
Aviation taught Connor the habit that now defines how ACG runs every project: checklists, preflight discipline, and assuming nothing. Pilots do not guess and they do not improvise — they brief, they verify, and they execute the plan. That is the operating standard he brought into construction.
Founder track record
Before ACG, Connor founded and ran Liberty Impact Windows & Doors — a Florida impact-glazing company he built from zero. Year-over-year results:
That trajectory — 25x growth in four years inside one of the most demanding impact-glazing markets in the country — is the proof point. Connor did not learn commercial glass from a textbook; he scaled a Florida impact-window operation from a garage to eight figures, and he carries that field-earned judgment into every ACG estimate, submittal, and install.
At ACG
Connor runs ACG's day-to-day operations — estimating, GC relationships, project management oversight, the ESWindows account, and the Nashville expansion. He is the direct point of contact for general contractors including DeAngelis Diamond, Verdex, Proctor, Curran Young, Rycon, and Suffolk.
The aviation background is not window-dressing. It is the reason ACG ships detailed submittals early, flags risk before it bites, and treats every scope the way a captain treats a flight plan — signed off, double-checked, and executed without drama.
Two co-founders. One operating standard.
Owner-level accountability
Every project has a principal-in-charge. No account executive layer, no regional manager buffer. The person you call is the person making the decision.
Preflight discipline
Submittals, shop drawings, and long-lead orders go out early and double-checked. Problems are flagged in the estimate stage, not in the field.
Procore-native operations
Every active job is tracked in Procore in real time — submittals, RFIs, schedules, and closeout. Fewer hands on the file, faster answers than legacy shops.
48-hour bids
Documented scopes get a detailed proposal or budget direction back within 48 hours — priced by the principals, not a trainee estimator.
