Jason Gordon
I was born in Kansas and moved around the state as a kid before graduating from Kansas State University with a degree in Construction Science & Management. I grew up around construction since my dad was in the acoustical ceiling business since before I was born. He was a great teacher and mentor for me and I ended up working for him in San Diego for about five years before moving to Denver to start Heartland Acoustics & Interiors in 1998. I’ve been married to my amazing wife, Christi, for almost thirty years and have two awesome kids – Courtney and Jett! I love spending time with family and hanging out at home but also find time to tinker in my garage, ride motorcycles, and explore the Rocky Mountains.
Joseph Roberson
I was born and raised in Canyon Lake, San Diego in the Inland Empire. After graduating from high school I attended Concordia University in Irvine on a basketball scholarship. I graduated in 2008 with a degree in Business Administration and that same summer signed a contract to play professional basketball in Germany where I made my residence for the next four years while playing. In 2012, I decided to return home to San Diego to begin my career. I was hired as a Management Trainee for a roofing material distributor in Vista, CA and after a few short months was named Branch Manager. After three years in distribution, I came across the Branch Manager opportunity for the San Diego office of Heartland Acoustics & Interiors. After meeting Jason Gordon and his team it was a no-brainer for me to join the company. I am extremely excited to be a part of, and to continue, the growth of Heartland.
Geoff Johnson
I was born in Ft. Stewart, Georgia, and moved around a lot as my father was in the Army. I graduated High School in Virginia and immediately joined the Army myself. After four years as an Army Mechanic, I decided to go to college.

I love anything outdoors, especially camping and fishing in the summer and skiing/snowboarding in the winter.
Danny Romero
I was born and raised in Denver. I love everything it has to offer but mainly the outdoor lifestyle which includes fishing and exploring our beautiful mountains. When the temperature drops, that’s when the real fun begins! Snowboarding and hockey consume my life in the winter. I live and breathe hockey and I play as often as I can. Other hobbies I have consist of watching the Broncos every Sunday with all of my friends, and also enjoying the vast music scene Denver has to offer. I have been with Heartland since 2010, starting in a field position and now working in the office. I look forward to learning the ins and outs of our company and the industry.
Ryan Drawe
I was born and raised in Michigan and at eighteen years old I joined the U.S. Navy for a two year term. During that time I was able to travel to a number of different countries. I also served a tour in Desert Storm. The last year in the Navy I was stationed in San Diego, San Diego, where I met my wife, Norma. We have three children: one in college and two in high school.

Brian Pancoast
I was born and raised in Seattle, and have lived most of my life here. I studied Architecture at the University of Washington and have spent my entire career in the construction industry, with roles in sales, estimating, operations and management. While my career took me to New York City and Philadelphia for a number of years, I ultimately returned to the hometown that I love. My free time is spent split between the urban life of Seattle and country life in the Methow Valley of Eastern Washington where I enjoy hiking, camping, kayaking and Nordic skiing with my son and my Siberian Husky.
Jon Holye
I was born in Greensboro, NC and grew up in and around the Durham, NC area. I competed in swimming at McCallie High School in Chattanooga, TN and went on to swim as a varsity letter winner and graduate at UNC Chapel Hill. After meeting my wife, Laura, on a missions trip to China I began working in the construction industry at Duke University. I went on to get my MBA at NC State and worked my way up from sales and estimating to a managing partner and director at the Raleigh, NC division of Bonitz where I worked for seven years before joining Heartland Acoustics. I love to watch and participate in almost any sport and enjoy time with my wife, Laura, and our four kids.
Kathy Scott
I am a native of Denver, and really appreciate what this “colorful” state has to offer. I enjoy most anything that is outdoors and spending as much time with my family and 5 grandkids. My one son and his wife both graduated from the School of Mines, and both practiced their majors for many years until their calling into the ministry. My daughter-in-law is a Major in the Air Force and a Chaplin and my son is a minister for the Presbytery Church. They have two small children, ages 6 and 3. My youngest son is a Chef and has 3 children, ages 16, 15, and soon to be 14. I have a “dachi” dog (half dachshund, half Chihuahua) named Hershey. He is one fun-loving little dog.

Maggie Buckley
I was born and raised just north of Chicago and all seven siblings traveled with our parents to San Diego by way of Route 66 in “66”. After living in Chico, CA for the last 20 years, I’ve returned to SD to be closer to my dad. My past positions as Office Manager, Legal Assistant and Executive Assistant defines the support person I am today. My three children are grown and live in NY and CA and there are two who call me Grandma, although not often enough! As Office Assistant, I keep the office running smooth and I’m very happy to be a part of the San Diego team. It looks like I found my last place of employment!
Dave Ronzio
I am enthusiastic about life and excited to step up and handle any challenge the day may bring. I’ve been in the ceiling business for 16 years and love to build new projects and help aid through the building processes from start to finish. I also studied business and construction management at Front Range Community College. I’ve been living in Northern Colorado for most of my life and now live with my beautiful fiancé, Heather, and our lovely little lady, Maddison, along with our two dogs Tank and Moxi. We absolutely love living in Colorado, love being in the mountains, and take our pups to explore Colorado’s rivers and lakes as often as possible.
Sherry Wilson
I was born and raised in Redwood City/Woodside, California where I attended school and played team sports such as basketball and softball. I grew up riding horses and participating in competitive horse shows, which is a past time that I still enjoy today. I started my career in the construction industry in 1999 as a lead receptionist for a door and millwork company in San Jose, California. I have been working within the construction and business administration industries ever since. I took time off to raise a family after our daughter Zoey was born in 2011. In 2012 my husband, Chris, and I moved to the Denver area, buying a home in Parker. I love spending time with my family whether that be lounging on the couch after a long week, or traveling to see family members in California or New York. In the summertime you will find me at the pool, the lake, on a boat, or at a concert. In the winter you will find me inside making stew or gumbo in between sledding runs. I love to read, cook, travel, swim, spend time with friends and family, and laugh til it hurts.
Damani Alexcee
I was born in Louisiana, but was raised in the great state of Texas. I was fortunate enough to attend Texas State University on a football scholarship. There I was able to graduate early and begin my Master’s degree. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family in the great outdoors, hiking, fishing, and of course floating the river.
Jessie Goodwin
I was born in Baltimore MD and have spent most of my life either in Glen Arm or Ocean City MD. After graduating from high school and upon my return from my honeymoon I started a commercial building business with minimal cash and over the next 30 years completed 325 Million dollars of building projects and grew into one of the larger GC’s in the Baltimore area. We self-performed carpentry work on our projects. Based on some bad business decisions made before the 2008 great recession I had to close the business in 2012. Divorced I have 2 fine young men as sons. I relocated to the Denver area in 2014. I love the beach, saltwater fishing, reading, movies, dancing, karaoke, racquet sports, bike riding, the mountains and football (Go Ravens).

Elysia Martinez
I am a Native Coloradoan, and I have lived and worked all over in several states, but Colorado is where my family and my heart is. My family is very large and very close so we do a lot of outdoor activities such as camping, swimming, boating, rafting and jet skiing. Yes, we are water people and the more the better! I am happily married to my husband Gabriel and we have five beautiful and creative children Andrew, Chardaney, Annaelysia, Jesse and Gabriel, (Only 2 are still at home). We enjoy coming together for cooking, eating and family whenever possible. I love to read, travel and experience new and exciting things all the time. My family says I am an adrenalin addict; and I am! We also have two amazing dogs that we share our lives and home with. Uno is a 4 year old German Shepard and Que is a 4 year old, 5lb Pug Terrier. Funny how opposites attract! Loving and living life.
Holly Holt
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. At a young age, I went to Disneyland California and my first ride was Space Mountain; as I buckled into the ride my father whispered, “Don’t raise your hands too high you’ll mess up my ceilings.” My professional history starts with my father. He went from working in the field to starting his own acoustical company in Garden Grove, CA. This cultivated my interest in construction. After a few years of acoustical estimating, I received an opportunity to lead the Acoustical Division at a local specialty drywall company. I am now delighted to be a member of Heartland Acoustics & Interiors. On my free time, I seek out any activities involving adrenaline and training in mixed martial arts.
Jenn Park
I am originally from Northern California and moved to Colorado in 1992. My entire career has evolved to being the backbone of a business or charitable/community organization. I love being the administrative spearhead; or “Girl Friday”; always utilizing my numerous methodical talents. I dedicate my life towards creating intentional connections and leading by example. I thrive to advocate towards radical self-awareness, possessing positive intention and paying it forward. I am enamored by my amazingly talented teen daughter, who is driven by music and is an aspiring culinary artist. Our muses in life are creating art/culture/food, live music, outdoor everything, poetry/creative writing and existentialism. My motto is: “Without the sense of urgency; desire loses its value.”
Scott Barnett
I was born and raised in the great state of Michigan. I started my career in construction while in high school roofing and framing houses. After graduating high school, I joined the United States Navy with the intent of becoming a part of the Construction Battalion (CB). During boot camp, I was told that the CB rate was closed and decided on following the course of Machinist Mate. After 4 years in the Navy, I spent the next 22 years in the telecommunications industry. I believe that my background in telecom will mesh well with the construction world I intended to get into in the first place. Married to my wife of almost 15 years, we have two amazing 8 and 9 year old boys that are heavily into inline hockey. We spend much of our spare time camping and shuffling our boys around to their games and practices. I’m also an avid home brewer and part-time distiller for a local distillery.
Dominic Liberato
I was born and raised in Colorado. My passion for motorcycles started at the young age of 4 years old. I started riding dirt bikes, and as I got older I moved on to Harleys. Since then I’ve added to my collection and now own five bikes. As much as I love my Harleys, my pride and joy is my 12 year old daughter, Ava. She is my best friend and greatest gift. We do everything together, including riding motorcycles, 4-wheelers, movies, and just hanging on the couch. I love getting up each day and contributing to Heartland. Not only do I enjoy my work, but I enjoy the people I get to work with every day. Each day is a new challenge to be solved.
Kim Nance
I’m a native Denverite, and I have worked in Accounting, Human Resources and Administration my entire career. My husband and I have two daughters.

I love being outside and do a lot of hiking and walking. In the summer I enjoy gardening.
Brian Ganges
I was born and raised in Trenton, New Jersey, and moved to Texas in 2002. I have over two decades of commercial construction experience, starting out as a laborer/helper, and later becoming a Drywall and Acoustical Ceiling Foreman, and eventually becoming an Estimator/Project Manager. At Heartland, I plan to use my skillset, experience, team attitude, and desire to grow to help the Austin/San Antonio office become the standard by which subcontractors in our industry are judged. In my spare time, I am an avid reader, lifelong learner, and I enjoy mentoring/inspiring the youth and men to reach their full potential.
My wife, Sheryl, and I are blessed to have two great adult children, Brianna and Demetrius; and we currently enjoy our new freedom of being empty nesters. We enjoy traveling, cruising, trying new restaurants, making new friends, and enjoying life.
Eddie Maher
I Moved to Berthoud, Colorado from Seattle, Washington in 1985. I started in the construction industry by helping my cousin-in-law with framing and trimming out custom homes during the housing boom in the late 90’s. As the housing market slowed, I made the switch to commercial construction. I started with Heartland Acoustics & Interiors in February of 2009. I am father to two sons and husband to my wife Samantha. My oldest son, Cody, is 15 years old and my youngest son, Eli, is 4 years old. We love to enjoy our beautiful state of Colorado through camping, fishing, motocross, four wheeling and exploring the mountains with our dog, Kiana. I have always loved audio/home theater equipment and environment so naturally I have a deep passion for our products and the acoustical industry as a whole.
Ricky Garcia

I started with Heartland in July of 2018, and look forward to working in this growing industry.
Veronica Sazz
Buongiorno! My name is Verónica Sazz. I’m a full-blooded Italian, born in Nàpoli and raised in Teruel, España. I have been living in Colorado for over 2 decades because the Rockies remind me of my hometown near the Pirineos/Pyrenees. The scenery in Colorado is ultimately my favorite, including the sunsets.
I have been an accountant since I moved to Colorado because I enjoy working with numbers very much and with other professional accountants.
During the weekends, I keep very busy with volunteer work either with the Humane Society, the Special Olympics and/or the American Red Cross.
I am excited and very appreciative to be a part of the growth of Heartland Acoustics and Interiors famiglia.

Trent Morrow
I was born and raised in South Carolina. I got my degree in Visual Arts as I was interested in graphic design at that time. Moved to North Carolina shortly after graduating and started my career in the printing industry specializing in online plan rooms and document management for the building community. After spending several years with architects and contractors I knew that I wanted to move over and be on the project side of the business, so I joined a subcontractor and started estimating and selling acoustical ceilings, exterior cladding and other specialty products. I am married to my high school sweetheart and have one kid that is highly active in sports so most of my free time involves being a taxi to and from practices and games. When I do find any other spare time I enjoy kayak fishing and relaxing with the family.

Both are glorious!
