Welcome to Our Crew
At Hard Hat Housing, we understand that finding the right temporary housing for construction crews takes more than just listing and booking. It takes a reliable construction housing support team behind the scenes, making it all come together. That’s why we’re proud to introduce the people who put in the work every day to help crews across the country settle into the right midterm rentals—fast, safe, and without the hassle.
These are the people who know this industry inside and out. They’ve walked job sites, answered late-night calls, and kept the booking process moving when timelines were tight and crews needed a place to land. They offer more than just support—they bring peace of mind.
Meet the Leadership Team
Richard Grier
Partner
David Reichley
Partner
Charlie GUllett
Partner
The strength of Hard Hat Housing starts with our three founding partners, each bringing deep experience and practical insight into the construction and housing industries.
Richard Grier,
David Reichley, and
Charlie Gullett work collaboratively to develop smart, long-lasting solutions for construction teams trying to line up housing across multiple job sites. Their background in the trades, paired with years of experience in housing logistics, gives them a unique perspective. They’ve dealt with scheduling delays, property availability issues, and everything in between. The systems and structure they’ve built are what power the service today.
Housing Support Specialists Who Keep Projects on Track
Paul Foley
Housing Consultant
ZEKE GRIER
Housing Consultant
Behind every successful booking, there’s the coordination of a dedicated construction housing support team.
Paul Foley and
Zeke Grier lead the charge here. As Housing Consultants, their job is to make sure every crew gets accommodations that match their needs—whether that’s location, number of beds, or lease length.
They regularly speak with property owners, coordinate logistics across multiple cities, and handle last-minute requests that often pop up mid-project. For example, when a crew in Texas needed housing fast after a storm canceled their original rental, Paul secured a series of units within 24 hours and had the team back at work without delay.
What Paul and Zeke do isn’t just booking—they are problem solvers with a strong understanding of how construction schedules shift. They’ve built relationships with property managers who are used to the industry and can provide flexible terms when it matters most.
Quick snapshot of their role:
- Work directly with general contractors, project managers, and crew leads to identify housing priorities
- Match crews with properties that meet their jobsite distance goals, security preferences, and budget
- Stay involved until the team is fully moved in and settled
This level of service helps eliminate the back-and-forth that slows down jobsites and keeps crews focused on the work, not the housing.
Project Coordination Meets Client Support
Kalpana Jagodzinski
Project Manager
Making construction housing work takes more than just logistics. It requires hands-on coordination and a commitment to client service that doesn’t fade once the property is booked. That’s where Kalpana Jagodzinski and Inna Grishchuk make a real difference.
Kalpana, our Project Manager, keeps every moving piece aligned—from tracking property availability across different cities to coordinating schedules with clients and landlords. She works closely with the rest of the construction housing support team to manage timelines and fill in the gaps before they become delays. Her focus is keeping every crew on schedule by staying two steps ahead of what’s coming next.
At the same time, Inna plays a critical role in keeping our clients supported. As Client Success Manager, she’s the link between crews on-site and the rest of our internal team. That might mean managing lease extensions, responding to questions about property details, or clearing up unexpected issues that pop up mid-stay. She brings a calm, no-nonsense approach that has helped dozens of teams stay focused on their work, even when the rental side gets tricky.
Marketing and Customer Support That Knows the Industry
KATIE GRIER
Customer Support
carrie mink
Director of Marketing
Carrie Mink leads our outreach as Director of Marketing and helps contractors and property owners understand what Hard Hat Housing can offer. She works hard to get our message in front of the right people without watering it down. Carrie uses simple, clear communication to show how the process works and why it matters.
Katie Grier
brings that same clarity to customer support. She listens closely when clients reach out and makes sure they get answers quickly. Whether someone’s confused about what’s included with a rental or needs help checking on move-in instructions, Katie helps untangle the details. Her support makes it easier for crews to stay focused on their work, not their lodging.
