Terry Vanderwell
Senior Business Development Executive
Midwest
+1 708 247 1792

Terry Vanderwell has been with EverGreene for over thirty years, joining the New York headquarters in 1984 before moving to Chicago in 1997 to establish our Midwest office. As a Senior Business Development Executive, Terry oversees the procurement and development of Midwest projects and manages client relationships throughout the project life cycle.

While also serving as a Project Manager for EverGreene during his tenure, Terry has managed hundreds of projects – many large large and multi-phased – including work on numerous state capitols and historic theaters. As a result he has extensive fieldwork experience, in projects involving plaster restoration, decorative painting, specialty finishes and both mural creation and conservation. Because of this historic preservation and restoration know-how, coupled with his artistic talents, Terry is often called on by perspective clients prior to construction starting to help develop their scopes of work, determine budgets and scheduling, and advise on the coordination of complex projects.

A native of Iowa, he earned his B.F.A. from Grandview College in Des Moines.
