He brings proven expertise in large, complex multi-billion dollar organizations-and smaller organizations-with operating, internal and external reporting responsibilities, as well as accounting and reporting oversight. "I am energized by the opportunity to work with such an exciting and fast-growing company. I look forward to working with the team to continue building the Revive platform," said Schulz. Revive also announced that it has acquired the assets of Shalz Construction Corp. (dba Gem State Fiber). Headquartered in Boise, Idaho, Gem State provides fiber splicing services to customers primarily in the Northwest United States. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. "We are thrilled to welcome the Gem State team," said Andrew Watkins, President of Crown Utilities. "Gem State has been one of Crown's go-to subcontractors for fiber splicing services for three years. As a result, we know from first-hand experience just how talented their team is, and we are excited to bring such high-quality fiber splicing capabilities in-house to better serve our customers." "Crown Utilities has become one of the fastest growing and most respected contractors in the Northwest market," said Mike Shalz, owner and President of Gem State Fiber. "The opportunity to be part of such a great platform, to provide additional benefits and growth opportunities to my employees, and to reunite with senior leaders at Revive and Crown, with whom we have long standing personal and professional relationships, was just too good to pass up." Shalz will become Controller of Crown Utilities. After a transition period, Crown's current Controller, Michael Melhorn, will move into a new position with Revive as its Manager of Financial Planning & Analysis. Both Shalz and Melhorn will report to Revive's CFO, Ted Schulz. "Nearly two years ago, we set out to build Revive Infrastructure Group into a world class platform in the utility infrastructure services sector," said Chad Magee, Chief Executive Officer of Revive Infrastructure Group. "Our announcements today - adding an experienced CFO, a new Controller, and a talented team of fiber splicers - demonstrate our continued progress toward that goal."
