LEADERSHIP
AMY VERGES
Partner, Director of Operations
Amy Verges is a third generation graduate from Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge. She received her B.A. in 1993 and M.A. in 1995. After graduation, Amy worked as a full-time Speech-Language Pathologist at a New Orleans area hospital in the inpatient rehab unit. After 25 years of helping others regain communication and cognitive function, Amy decided to switch gears and use her communication and organization talents in operating The VDC Group.
Once the operating principles and foundation of the company were established, Amy helped introduce The VDC Group to the construction community labeling it as “more than a 3D Coordination company”. Promoting Louis’ mechanical contracting and construction experience were some of the keys to the company’s success helping to establish its potential in becoming a powerhouse in the virtual design and construction industry.
In her free time, Amy enjoys reading, writing a children’s book, and vacationing in the mountains. To continue her love of helping those recover from brain injuries, she is in the process of training her dog, Kalik, to become a therapy pet for the local Love On A Leash chapter, a nonprofit “dedicated to providing an avenue for volunteer pet therapy teams to participate in emotional support of others”.
LOUIS VERGES
Founding Partner, Lead Engineer
Louis Verges is a 1992 graduate from University of New Orleans with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. In 1999, Louis earned his status as a registered Professional Engineer in Louisiana. Furthering his professional capabilities, he resumed his studies, and in 2001 became a licensed Master Plumber in Louisiana.
Louis grew up sweeping his dad’s sheet metal shop and watching the journeymen fabricate sheet metal. As a teenager, he spent his summers driving the delivery truck for the company. Upon graduation from UNO, Louis followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, by joining the HVAC/sheet metal family business. He served as a detailer and estimator, then project manager. Eventually, he became president/owner of the family mechanical contracting division.
Always looking to the future and wanting to further his knowledge, Louis trained in Revit. He found a new passion combining his knowledge of mechanical engineering and interest in computer science, 3D modeling. With his mechanical contracting experience and the emergence of technology in modern construction, Louis saw an opportunity to start The VDC Group.
Louis resides in Louisiana with his wife, Amy, and their 3 children. He enjoys running, jet-skiing on the Tchefuncte River, paddle boarding in local bayous, and taking family vacations to the islands or “any beach by the ocean”!
