Sloop, who joined Walsh in 1995 as a laborer, has served as assistant superintendent, superintendent and project manager. The U.S. Navy veteran’s leadership has been pivotal since 2010 in the estimation, value engineering and system analysis of all Walsh projects in Oregon. He brings expertise to a portfolio of more than 500 projects, including schools, affordable housing, medical offices, and community-focused facilities. His work covers projects of all sizes, from $125,000 tenant improvements to $125 million developments, and integrates sustainable building certifications such as Living Building, LEED, and Earth Advantage.

Sloop’s ingenuity and problem-solving skills shined on the PAE Living Building project. When space limitations prevented full on-site energy generation, he proposed an off-site solution using the solar-ready roof of Renaissance Commons, an affordable housing development built by Walsh in the same utility district. This strategy not only resolved the energy challenge but aligned with the equity requirements of the Living Building Challenge, directly benefiting the community.

Sloop volunteers at Doreen’s Place – a Portland men’s shelter – and participates in SOLVE neighborhood cleanups.
