Dustin and Ashley Rampy are the driving forces behind Joy Construction, a multi-generational family legacy originally founded in 1968 by one of the first 100 female licensed contractors in the U.S. As a 100% service-disabled Army veteran, Dustin transitioned from military air traffic control to federal contracting with a mission to rebuild the very infrastructure he once utilized as a soldier. Ashley, serving as the President of the firm’s management services division, has revolutionized the brand’s modern reach through her "High Heels to Hard Hats" initiative, championing female authority in a male-dominated industry.
Together, the Rampys have scaled their group of companies into a powerhouse eight-figure enterprise. By merging rigorous military SOPs with an empathetic, client-focused "woman’s touch," they are not only rebuilding federal and residential landscapes across the South but are also securing a 100-year legacy for their four sons. Their story is a masterclass in professional scaling, marital partnership, and honoring a pioneering family history while aggressively pursuing an unlimited federal ceiling.
