Shakorie (known as Shak) founded Next Generation Construction in 2009, and serves as president and owner. A Cleveland native with roots in the building trades, Shak took an unconventional path to leadership. Before starting his own firm, he gained comprehensive industry experience as an estimator, superintendent, project manager, and project executive.
Shak is committed to reshaping the Ohio construction industry to better reflect the diversity of its residents. His community involvement extends from revitalizing Cleveland's East Side to contributing to the city's Lakefront Development project. This dedication to local growth aligns with Next Generation Construction's mission to add value beyond conventional building services.
Under Shakorie's leadership, Next Generation Construction has grown into a thriving operation with over 90 employees. The company's success is built on Shak's unwavering commitment to client satisfaction and project excellence. When not steering the company's growth, Shak cherishes time spent with his wife and children, balancing his professional drive with a strong family focus.
