Robert M. Brown, Chairman of American Asphalt Company, operates the company as one who has been entrusted by God to care for His people and manage His assets while he is here on earth. As the company’s visionary, Bob looks for opportunities to grow the list of satisfied customers and to assist the people who depend on the company for employment or economic benefit.

Bob grew up in a family business and later, in 1986, he purchased the assets of a small asphalt company that he grew from five employees to its current ___ employees. This growth meant being a multi‐tasking entrepreneur in the early years and learning each facet of the business, to now having a dynamic leadership team to professionally manage the business. Bob knows that, to be successful, it’s imperative to surround yourself with great people that are aligned in culture and brilliant in their own specialty field. This has been accomplished over time, allowing the company to not only flourish but to sustain the talent and manufacturing challenges its faced.
