Young’s trajectory shifted in 2012 when he founded his own company to participate in a New York state pilot program for minority contractors. Under his leadership, the firm quickly outperformed expectations, doubling the program's initial revenue targets and eventually emerging as the top-performing entity among 675 participants. This rapid growth provided the capital to diversify into bridge building, heavy highway infrastructure, and commercial construction management.
His portfolio now includes high-profile regional landmarks such as the Albany Nanotech Complex, the Williamsburg Bridge, and the renovation of the Cathedral of All Saints. Beyond project delivery, Young maintains a focus on union labor and prevailing wages, a philosophy rooted in his own early professional years as an electrical worker and masonry apprentice. As he prepares to open a new office in Miami, Young continues to mentor entrepreneurs at institutions like NYU and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, while eyeing a transition into real estate development.
