With over 50 years of expertise in excavation, earthworks and grading, site utility construction, commercial demolition, and shoreline restoration, development and preservation, John has become an invaluable resource to countless Chicago-area contractors, and has played an integral role in the success of several noteworthy projects that have reshaped Chicago’s skyline and shoreline.

As the president of John Keno & Company (JKC), John ensures that each project his team embarks on is carefully planned and executed with precision and professionalism. His motto of “Can Do, Will Do” embodies his value-driven approach to his work: he encourages each member of the JKC team to work collaboratively and transparently and to solve challenges with open-minded enthusiasm. When he is not managing his project managers or overseeing company operations, he manages jobsite safety, quality control, and resource management.

John is a proud U.S. Army veteran. His time in service taught him about the importance of service, responsibility, and diligence. As the founder of his family-owned business, John understands the value of relationships – with site owners, contractors, subcontractors – and strives to make each client feel as though the JKC team is part of their own.
