Our Leadership

Our leadership team is comprised of individuals with a strong background in the trades and a passion for building relationships and trust with our clients.

Rob Chase, Managing Partner, joined Orion in 2002 as a lead carpenter and quickly rose through the ranks to site superintendent. In 2006, he moved into the office to oversee all of the accounting, while still keeping a foothold in the field as a project manager and estimator. Rob keeps our process tight by developing questionnaires for new clients, monitoring each part of our process, and ensuring that communication always flows by updating clients on deadlines, meetings, and new building phases. Prior to Orion, Rob spent several years in Jackson, Wyoming, building large, timber-framed homes in the shadows of Grand Teton National Park. He graduated from East Stroudsburg University in 1997 with a degree in Physics and Secondary Education and has studied for a master's in Civil Engineering.

Pete Maruca, Founder/Business Development, is a native of Princeton, New Jersey, and graduated cum laude from Princeton University with a degree in Art and Architectural History. Rather than pursuing an academic career, he opted for hands-on experience in carpentry, working for 10 years with some of the premier residential builders, remodelers, and architects in Boston, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. Pete's passion focuses not only on the craft of remodeling but on the experience and care he devotes to his clients. He has developed a process of regular ongoing communication that leaves nothing to surprise and has helped make both he and Orion nationally recognized leaders in their field.

Matt Blank, Production Manager/Estimator, is our resident expert in scheduling, keeping everyone on time, deadlines for ordering set, homeowners informed of upcoming decisions, and working with subcontractors whose work must be coordinated. Matt graduated from Johnson College in Scranton, PA, in 2005 with an associate's degree in Carpentry and Cabinetmaking. He immediately went to work in the trades, putting his training into action, working in all phases of production for Gary Fenton Builders in Scranton. He spent 5 years with Hemingway Homes, one of the DC area's top custom residential builders, where he honed his skills as a carpenter and project manager.
