Congratulations to President and CEO Chris Wooten and his family on this honor and recognition of Seth Wooten Jr’s impact on our industry.
Congratulations to Carolinas AGC 2026 Hall of Fame Legacy Award winner Seth T. Wooten, Jr. of S.T. Wooten! We here honored to celebrate Seth's incredible legacy and lasting contribution on the construction industry at our 2026 Summit & Expo in Asheville on July 25.
As a second-generation leader of the company founded by his father in 1952, Seth Tyson Wooten, Jr. devoted his entire career to building upon that foundation. Beginning at an early age operating grading and earth-moving equipment, Seth learned every aspect of the business from the ground up. His first leadership role came as a foreman in 1962, followed by Executive Vice President in 1976, President in 1991, and ultimately Chief Executive Officer.
Under Seth's leadership, S.T. Wooten Corporation experienced remarkable growth. The company expanded from a few hundred employees to more than 1,000, diversified its services, invested in state-of-the-art equipment, and earned a reputation for excellence across the Carolinas and beyond. His vision helped establish a culture rooted in innovation, safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
Seth believed that a company's greatest strength was its people. He championed employee training, enhanced benefits, and launched the company's safety program. His collaborative leadership style empowered others and positioned the company for decades of continued success.
Seth's legacy continues to shape the construction industry and inspire future generations of leaders. We are proud to recognize his lasting impact as a 2026 Carolinas AGC Hall of Fame Legacy Award honoree!
