For thirteen years, Gateway Building Company has grown steadily under the leadership of its founder, Jack Moore. Based in Durham, NC, the company has earned a reputation as a trusted general contractor and construction manager, grounded in a strong, people-first culture.
As Gateway prepared for a new chapter—with Jack stepping back from his day-to-day leadership role—preserving the spirit and perspective of their founder became a top priority. Vice presidents Austin Moore and Pete Zseleczky recognized the need for a meaningful way for future employees to stay connected to the company’s origins and to the man who started it all.
Filmed inside Bar Virgile—where Jack often welcomed new employees to get to know them—the final film provides an honest look at his beginnings, his decision to forge a new path, and the heart that continues to guide the brand. It serves as a resource for new team members to hear directly from the founder, helping preserve the small-company spirit that has defined Gateway since its earliest days while the company confidently steps into its next phase.
