Frank Ottolino

President and CEO

I have been in the construction trade since 1979 and in the environmental field since 1985.

My experience ranges from mechanical insulation to interior demolition. Coordinating projects that range from small residential jobs to the United State’s largest decommissioning of a nuclear power plant, Zion Nuclear Station.

As the owner of EHC I am privileged to work alongside the finest field crew, the best sales team, and the top office staff in the industry.

Early on I was mentored by two industry pioneers and with them I forged strong relationships with clientele that we still service today. Our goal is to continue to build trust with clientele as we provide expert and superior work that exceeds expectations.

Integrity is the backbone of our company.
