Virginia C. Wheeler
Virginia is a Managing Member and Co-Owner of Capstone Contracting Group. Virginia is a graduate of Syracuse University with a B.A. in Economics, after which she received her MBA from LeMoyne College. Virginia spent her early career in Management in Commercial Finance followed by a decade as an Asset Manager for a local Commercial Real Estate Development Company.
Virginia’s prior positions afforded her with amazing mentors and wide-ranging experience in a variety of disciplines, including Accounting, Finance, Management, Marketing and Human Resources.
Joel and Virginia have been together for 35 years and are made of the same work ethic, values, determination and vision. After decades of working for others, the opportunity to come together to create a joint venture was irresistible.
The goal was to build a company that defied the traditional stereotypes of the industry - to create an enterprise that was responsive, consistent, and reliable. A company that ensured not only client satisfaction but focused on employee growth, development and happiness.
Virginia enjoys traveling with her family. She loves the family’s 17-year-old cat Chico and 12-year-old Aussie Charlotte. She spends her summers working with her fruit trees, berry bushes and gardens and her autumns preserving the harvest.
