Long brings 25 years of construction experience to Kaufman Lynn and will oversee several projects for key clients, including Florida Atlantic University and JM Family Enterprises. In addition to direct project oversight, Long will lead Kaufman Lynn Construction’s commitment to enhancing overall service excellence. “Chris shares our passion for building long-term client relationships by ensuring operational excellence and delivering more than expected. We are excited to have him on our team,” said Kaufman.

Long joined Kaufman Lynn Construction from Balfour Beatty Construction, where he was Operations Director. His previous responsibilities included project management of all of Balfour Beatty Construction’s education related projects throughout the Southeast Region of Florida, including Innovation Village Apartments and the Football stadium at Florida Atlantic University.
