our philosophy
About Us
AmerInd is a full-service federal and commercial contractor dedicated to building and modernizing America’s critical infrastructure. From complex energy systems to secure federal facilities, we deliver certainty and resilience on every project, guided by a legacy of leadership and a history of deliberate evolution.
A Legacy of
Brave Leadership
Our company’s values are inspired by the legacy of Nanyehi, the famed ‘Ghigau’ or ‘Beloved Woman’ of the Cherokee and an ancestor of our President, Jordan Beard. In the 1700s, Nanyehi earned her title through immense bravery after leading her warriors to victory in battle. However, she is remembered as a visionary leader who worked to build bridges between cultures.
She was a resolute diplomat who advocated for peace and an enterprising steward who introduced new farming and weaving techniques to ensure the prosperity and resilience of her people. Her story of adaptation, stewardship, and forward-thinking leadership is the foundation upon which AmerInd is built.
A History of
Strategic Evolution
Founded in 1957 as a trusted electrical supply house, AmerInd has a long history of serving the region's infrastructure needs. The company's modern evolution began when Jordan Beard took the helm from his father, steering the business toward a new future.
While maintaining our foundational distribution services, Jordan launched an enterprising shift into lighting retrofits and Energy as a Service (EaaS). This focus on performance and efficiency soon led to the creation of a self-performing electrical division, which naturally grew into the capable, full-service general contracting firm we are today. This journey from a local supplier to a multi-disciplined federal contractor reflects our commitment to growth and adaptation.
Enduring Stewardship
Our Mission
Today, our history and legacy guide a single, focused mission. It is the standard we bring to every partnership and every project.
