Mr. Landis began working in construction for Keller Construction Co. before deciding after a few years to start his own general contracting company. In 1956, Fred Landis founded Landis Construction Co, Inc. At the age of fourteen, James (Jim) Landis began learning his father’s trade as he worked digging ditches and carrying lumber. Following the death of Fred Landis in 1976, his widow Evelyn Landis preserved the family leadership of the company by becoming Chairman of the Board and in 1978, young Jim Landis took over as President and CEO. Anne Teague Landis began learning the administrative side of the company as young as Jim began learning the building side, working in the office during summer breaks. When Anne Teague joined Landis permanently in 2008, she began working side-by-side with her father to really learn the business. In 2015, Jim stepped down as CEO and turned the management of the business over to Anne Teague.
