His impressive background includes a seven-year tenure with The Flatley Company, starting as an assistant superintendent and working his way up to project superintendent, in charge of estimating, budgeting, and awarding projects in addition to managing day-to-day activities. Immediately prior to joining Acella, Gainey was a project manager with two New England-based general contracting firms.

Gainey is credited with overseeing several of Acella’s most prominent projects, including the Pelham House Resort, a 13,000 s/f design and construction project in Dennisport, Mass., The Goddard School of Sudbury, a 15,000 s/f conversion project, and a variety of higher education projects.
