BJ Galle

COO

Meet BJ Galle, Ideal's Chief Operations Officer, who started with the team straight out of college. He expertly balances client and construction management, leads project managers and engineers, and is a volunteer Assistant Fire Chief. Away from work, BJ enjoys his kids' baseball games, grilling, and as a true builder, even built his own home.

BJ joined the Ideal team fresh out of college (UW-Platteville). Since then, he’s climbed the ranks and now serves as Ideal’s Chief Operations Officer. In his role, BJ divides his time between client and construction management; he also leads the project managers and engineers. When BJ’s not putting out fires at work, he’s putting out literal fires as a volunteer firefighter in his hometown, where he serves as Assistant Fire Chief. His more relaxing hobbies include spending time at his kids’ baseball games and grilling/smoking different meats on his deck. Like a true builder, BJ enjoys putting on his tool belt; he built his house and has helped on various charitable builds throughout the Madison area.
