Our Story

Rusty Edmiston | President

CPC, CCM, PMP, DBIA, LEED AP BD+C

Rusty and Amy Edmiston acquired the already well-established Vanguard Builders from founder Jay Burscough in January, 2019. Tulsa natives, Rusty and Amy continued the family-owned and operated feel of the business, while also striving to create a safety-conscious workforce. Vanguard Builders ensures the highest level of quality control and streamlined production in order to exceed the expectations of today’s construction market.

Rusty graduated from Oklahoma University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science in Construction Science. After college, he spent 16 years with a large Tulsa-based general contractor, with his responsibilities spanning from Project Engineer to Chief Operating Officer.
Amy graduated from Avila University in Kansas City, MO in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science in Business and Marketing. She brings over 10 years’ experience in construction sales and the oil and gas industry.

In their free time, Rusty and Amy enjoy everything outdoors; from hunting and fishing to cheering on their son Hayes at the baseball field, daughter Everly on the soccer field to spending time on the lake with their family, friends and labs Blu and Gus.
