  • Katie Kosloski
    Greenfield Development Manager

    I started with Luck Stone in 2009 as a Mining Engineering Co-Op Student. This 15 month program allowed me, while still in college, to learn about the industry and work through mine development and reserve estimation projects. I was hired by Luck Stone full time upon graduation. I had a vast interest in gaining a deeper understanding of quarry operations and entered a Foreman Trainee role at the company. In this position, I was able to learn more about the mechanical crushing and screening systems that help attain the appropriate product graduations. I also learned a tremendous amount around leadership and the importance of teamwork through my time in the plant. Currently, I am leveraging both my engineering and operational experience to lead a team through the development of a new quarry pit in Leesburg, Virginia. The culture and people at Luck Stone make this company a great fit for me. Working for a mining company where the Mission and Vision speak to the value that each member of our team brings to the table is truly felt in the way that Luck associates approach and interact with each other, and is often noted by the community in our exchanges with them.

  • Sam Rinehart
    Plant Manager

    While at Luck Stone, I have had the chance to work at several crushed stone sites throughout the region. As I transferred from site to site, there have always been ample opportunities for growth and development. At Luck, if you are curious and committed, you can choose your own career path.

  • Darryl Sanders
    Plant Manager

    I work for Luck Stone because it is a company that provides a tremendous amount of growth opportunities and education for associates.

    I started off as a blaster at our Powhatan location. Then took part in Luck Stone’s foreman trainee program, transferring to our Burkeville Plant; this was a great learning experience. After spending some time there, I joined the team at our Rockville Plant for a short time. Then I became a foreman at Burkeville for about 5 years. Now, I am currently a foreman at our South Richmond location. I believe that being challenged every day and working towards your goals makes you feel good about what you've accomplished.
