Cornerstone Welcomes High and Dias
Cornerstone announces two additions to the company: Jordyn High joins as an Accountant and Kyler Dias joins as a Project Manager.
High brings several years of experience in the Alaskan construction industry, including work for both general and specialty contractors. She earned a bachelor’s in business administration with a concentration in accounting at UAF and is currently working towards her MBA.
She grew up in the building industry; her paternal grandfather, a registered engineer, owned and operated a civil engineering firm in Alaska. At her family’s firm, High gained appreciation for the design and development of buildings in northern environments.
Dias joins Cornerstone with over a decade of Alaska construction experience. His professional career focused on large federal and commercial projects as a civil engineer, project manager, estimator, and quality control manager. He will be responsible for leading Cornerstone’s efforts in federal contracting opportunities. Kyler holds a bachelor’s in civil engineering from UAA.
