Doug Collett
Co-Founder, Sycamore Seal and Stripe LLC
As a Co-Founder of Sycamore Seal and Stripe LLC, I lead our dedicated team in delivering comprehensive pavement maintenance solutions. At Sycamore Seal and Stripe, we specialize in asphalt sealcoating, crack filling, pothole patching, and pavement striping, aimed at enhancing the durability and safety of pavement assets for both commercial and residential clients in Terre Haute, Indiana.
Prior to founding Sycamore Seal and Stripe, I served as an Estimator and Business Development Specialist at Milestone Contractors South, formerly Wabash Valley Asphalt Co., LLC. In this role, I estimated sitework and paving projects across various sectors, assessed market risks, and cultivated client relationships while managing inventory and spearheading market outreach.
My career includes significant experience as a Project Manager and Director of Safety at Wabash Valley Asphalt, where I managed paving projects, ensured safety compliance, and oversaw material inventory. I also contributed as a Project Manager and Assistant Project Manager at AECOM Hunt, where I handled project documentation, cost control, and subcontractor coordination.
I began my professional journey with hands-on roles as a Project Engineer and Engineer’s Assistant, gaining valuable experience in surveying, construction staking, and technical documentation through positions with Myers Engineering and Garmong Construction Services.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, which provided me with a strong technical foundation in engineering practices. I further advanced my expertise with an MBA from the Scott College of Business at Indiana State University, equipping me with essential business management skills for leading successful projects and driving business development.
With a blend of technical knowledge, business acumen, and extensive industry experience, I am committed to advancing the quality and efficiency of asphalt maintenance services.
