Adam Adelsberger
Owner & COO

As a mechanical engineer, machinist, custom designer/fabricator with 20 years in the sound & vibration control field (working with Mason, Kinetics, & VMC), Adam is the brain behind AAC. Adam's favorite part of the job is serving our customers and instills that in all of us.

 

Little known fact - Adam is a part-time Jimmy Hoffa investigator and he predicts ol Hoffa is in a jacked up floor somewhere in Baltimore.

Tim Maggi
Vice President of Operations

Tim is one of those people you just feel good around. His gracious attitude and genuine interest in the lives of others makes him a gem to work with. He is here to serve and make your (and our) lives easier. :) 

​

Tim enjoys probably every outdoor activity there is from soccer to double dutch. Although he may be lighter on the soccer these days after it gave him a pig knee. Never-the-less, he is a diehard soccer guy who now dabbles in golf where pigs are not discriminated against.

Chris Gove
Vice President of MEP Business Development

Chris started his career in the commercial mechanical field as a tech for Shapiro & Duncan. So when he started as our estimator  he was already in the driver's seat. He quickly merged onto the interstate speeding his way to HVAC VI Masterland. Chris takes great pride in providing our customers with the most complete and accurate estimate so that they can plan their budget well. However, he gets the most joy from one-on-one client interaction; having the knowledge to help them get what they need. And that is what drew him into his current HVAC VI sales consultant role, while passing the torch off to his old buddy, Edgar.

​

When he's not thinking about vibration isolation, he's dreaming about it while Chris-Crossing the country as a roadie for his hero and mentor Lil Skies.

Julian Gerald
MEP Sales Consultant

Julian might be one of the chillest guys you'll meet—but don’t let the laid-back vibes fool you. He’s got a serious track record, starting as an HVAC tech in the U.S. Air Force before shifting gears into sales, where he’s been crushing it across the DMV ever since. Now part of the AAC Independent crew, he brings that perfect combo of technical know-how, people skills, and cool-under-pressure energy we all rely on.

​

When he’s not solving HVAC puzzles or talking shop, Julian’s probably doing one of three things: hooping like it’s March Madness, cheering on the Ravens, or eyeing his next watch like it’s already on his wrist. He lifts heavy, golfs occasionally, and somehow manages to make it all look easy.

Phil Bucheimer
MEP Sales Consultant

Phil is a quick witted and easy going fella who is always bringing the laughs to the group. He was a valued asset on the soccer field his entire life and ended playing at a collegiate level before settling down into his family life. Prior to beginning with AACI, he spent majority of his career working as an estimator, project manager and book keeper for the Bucheimer Co General Contracting family business.

 

As he does with everything in life, he is excited to provide a perfected service and value to our customers!

James Chapin
MEP Sales Consultant

Jimbo James (yes, that is what we call him) is the kind of guy who brings energy, curiosity, and a dash of chaos in the best possible way. Starting as a behind-the-scenes utility player, James has grown into a confident sales assistant and is learning his new way into a sales rep—armed with ambition, charm, and just enough caffeine to power a small city. He’s got a real hunger to learn and a genuine desire to help, always looking for ways to support the team and give customers the best experience possible.

​

Outside of work, you’ll find him at the gym perfecting his curls form, cheering on the Capitals like it’s Game 7 of the Stanley Cup, or hanging with the boys—where the jokes fly as fast as the group chats blow up.

David Bodnar
Submittal Coordinator

This guy must have some stories to tell based on all that grey hair, but unfortunately David is pretty discreet - so much so that posting this photo and write up will definitely give him some additional silver strands! 

 

What we do know is that David is quite versatile. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Product Design and he’s in his element when he’s creating. From tweaking recipes in the kitchen to 3D modeling, or throwing sparks in his workshop to writing code and scripts - he analyzes everything. That quality makes David a relentless evaluator and just the guy our customers need in the AAC submittal sphere.

Aaron Adelsberger
Logistics Coordinator & Fabricator
 

"Uncle Aaron” - With nearly two decades of experience running large-scale fabrication shops, he’s the guy who can weld, cut, bend, and build just about anything—with precision that borders (exceeds) obsessive. As he puts it, “There’s almost right, right, and exactly right”—and we’re lucky (and so are our customers) that he always aims for the last one.

 

He’s a man of many hats, one speed (fast), and a lifelong commitment to getting things done without the fluff. When he’s not elbow-deep in a build, you might find him headbanging at a concert, wrenching on one of his many vehicles, or just enjoying a well-earned hang with his crew.

Shianne Tibbs
Assistant Submittal Coordinator

Shianne brings big energy and laser focus to her role as Assistant Submittal Coordinator. Before joining AACI, she spent two years as a cake decorator, where she honed her eye for detail and got used to working under pressure. She’s incredibly loyal to her team, her people, and her passions. Whether she’s organizing submittals or sprinting down the soccer field, Shianne always gives everything all she’s got. Outdoorsy, outgoing, and full of personality, she’s the kind of teammate who keeps things moving and keeps things fun.

​

She’s proud to support the team with determination, hard work, and just the right amount of intensity.

Giuliana Parisi
Executive Operations Manager 

​Giuliana is the artist behind the operations—literally and figuratively. As our Executive Operations Manager, she brings creativity, precision, and a sharp eye for detail to everything she touches. Driven and organized, she keeps the behind-the-scenes running smoothly while adding her own thoughtful flair to every process. When she’s not streamlining workflows or solving problems, you’ll find her deep in her latest art project, exploring new places, or nose-deep in a good book (with a reality TV binge queued up for later). 

​

Whether it’s a process or a painting, Giuliana knows how to make it work—and make it beautiful.
