In 1996, Frank started Stankunas Pumping and Concrete with a $5,000 loan. Within ten years, he grew the business to more than $20 million a year, performing jobs for some of the top general contractors in the Southeast, including DR Horton and Brasfield & Gorrie. Before starting his own business, Frank worked for Sherman Concrete and Nichols Concrete Pumping.

Frank played football at Auburn University under the great Pat Dye and graduated with a degree in Physical Education in 1991. He married his college sweetheart, Sharon. They have four children, including Trace, Tyler and Hayden who work alongside their dad.

Frank is passionate about mission work. He serves on the board of the Mexico Orphan Mission (MOM) and has built churches and orphanages in Mexico, Peru and Africa.

Trace graduated from high school in 2013 and has served in construction ever since. He’s worked for companies like Morris Shea Bridge, building auger cast piles and learning a wide range of skills, which he now brings to Silverback Concrete.

Trace provides hands-on leadership and project management for most of our ongoing jobs. He’s certified for elevated decks by the Post-Tension Institute and specializes in post-tension, elevated decks and heavy concrete.

Tyler grew up with a front-row seat to heavy concrete. Starting in high school, he worked summers alongside Frank, Trace and Hayden.

Tyler holds a Building Science degree from Auburn University. He spent two internships working with self-perform concrete at Bailey Harris Construction.

Before joining Silverback, Tyler was Assistant Field Manager for the national construction firm Brasfield & Gorrie. He led a carpenter crew for the company’s self-perform concrete division. As head of Silverback’s commercial division, Tyler promotes and maintains our standards of precision and grit for every commercial and industrial project from Florida to Virginia.

Like his brothers, Hayden has been involved in concrete construction most of his life and joined Silverback full-time in 2018. As head of our Florida division, he oversees commercial and residential construction from house slabs to high rises.

Hayden also leads Silverback’s pest control division, a unique service that allows us to pre-treat our own slabs. He also manages the mechanical team, ensuring that our truck fleet and heavy equipment are always battle-ready.

He works with field and management teams to ensure consistent service and high-quality concrete for our customers.

With over 30 years of experience in commercial construction, David knows what it takes to lead projects and plan for the worst while striving for the best. With a background in general contracting, he brings a holistic perspective to projects and client relationships, positioning Silverback as both a subcontractor and a guide.

Noah serves as a Senior Project Manager and Estimator at Silverback and is the latest in a proud line of Auburn University alumni to join our team. Before coming to Silverback, he gained valuable experience working with a large general contractor in Nashville, Tennessee.

At Silverback, I get to experience a variety of projects within the focused niche of concrete. Everything from massive data centers, hospitals and warehouses to apartment complexes and homes.

I see our core value of Authenticity daily in how the company operates. If we strike a deal, we’re gonna keep it. Everybody on the team is a walking-talking demonstration of our brand. We’re not trying to change who we are or be someone else, and that’s why clients know intuitively that they can trust us – that we’ve got their back.
