Randolph J. Silverstein
President
S & J Security

As President and CEO of Sparrow and S & J Security, Randolph (Randy) Silverstein combines his years in the construction industry and business acumen to run a company which successfully operates in several arenas: property development, construction, management and security.

After attending both Hofstra University and the University of Portland’s Multnomah School of Engineering, Randy began as a carpenter and ultimately assumed management duties at Graphic Construction Corporation, which was started by his father in 1964, ultimately rising to General Superintendent of Construction.

While at Graphic, Randy’s duties included coordinating over 600 field personnel at an average of 20 active job sites. He also coordinated the complex logistics of product and service purchasing, negotiations with union and local community organizations, providing jobsite security and administration of Graphic’s internal warehousing and delivery services.

One of the innovations he brought to the company was the development of “floating” labor groups, which reduced the necessary work force size needed to maintain progress at job sites. This experience and eye for innovation led Randy to form his own company, Sparrow in 1981.

Since its inception, the company has become a major force in the New York construction industry. Today, Sparrow is able to successfully complete even the most challenging projects, including government agency-sponsored “gut rehabs”, new high-rises, new one-and two-family low to middle income housing and multi-unit luxury townhouse development.
