Our Team – RCH Construction

Building is a Lot Like Basketball, it’s Impossible to Win Without a Team

While leading the company, Hugh ran his crews like a basketball team. They spent all day together, played off of each other, and always held one another accountable for their outputs. This created a tight-knit group that could finish a home-build or renovation faster than any other team in the area. This mantra extended from the field to the office, where everyone always worked closely together to ensure perfection for the client.

While we may no longer have a professional basketball player at the helm, RCH still maintains that same belief that having the right team leads to the right outcomes.

We think we have a pretty kick-butt team.

Our Leadership Team

Angelina Carper

President & CEO

Angelina Carper began her construction career on the job sites of Chicago, where her strong work ethic and drive to learn propelled her from laborer to crew lead in heavy civil work. Her initiative led to a transition into project management, where she balanced leadership responsibilities with hands-on fieldwork—often managing complex project plans while working underground.

After nearly a decade in civil construction, her curiosity and ambition led her into commercial general contracting with the goal of mastering all facets of building. Since then, she has successfully delivered a diverse range of projects, including hospitals, cathedrals, refineries, five-star hotels, and greenhouses. Along the way, she has developed deep expertise in team leadership, technical execution, and client-focused delivery.

Fulfilling her long-standing goal of business ownership, Angelina acquired RCH Construction in 2023. As President and CEO, she leads the company with a hands-on approach, a passion for problem-solving, and a commitment to excellence across every project.

Erin Khalili

Chief Administrative Officer

A longstanding member of RCH’s original team, Erin is the go-to problem solver and the steady hand behind day-to-day operations. As Chief Administrative Officer, she plays a vital role in keeping the business running smoothly, ensuring that every moving part—from finance to field logistics—is handled with precision and care.

Before joining RCH, Erin built her career in the fast-paced worlds of major airlines and corporate environments, where she sharpened her skills in organization, communication, and operational management. That experience gave her the tools to thrive in the complex and ever-changing landscape of residential construction—an industry she navigates with grace, grit, and a smile on her face.

Erin is a true jill-of-all-trades, with a particular knack for bookkeeping and back-office management. Known for keeping the team on track and “whipping everyone into shape” when needed, she brings structure to chaos, accountability to the table, and a sense of humor to even the toughest days. Her leadership and attention to detail are key to ensuring RCH delivers the best experience possible to both clients and partners.

Rock Belanger

Managing Partner, Head of Field Operations

Rock has been drawn to this industry since he was 11 years old—starting out making portable toilets for field crews out of leftover materials. He can attest it was just as fun as it sounds, but as rough as it was, that experience sparked something in him. He discovered the draw of the industry, which was the creativity and diversity of the people around him—Hondurans, Mexicans, Guatemalans, Germans, Russians, Italians—all from different walks of life, coming together to build something that would shelter others.

Rock spent 12 years building hospitals in his early career. He used to tell people his crews were just as important as the doctors—because without his teams, they’d be working out of tents. He'd build the structures that withstand storms, generate power when the grid fails, and bring light to darkness. He loved the knowledge that he helped save lives, without ever picking up a scalpel.

Construction workers are often overlooked, but Rock attests that they are the foundation—literally and figuratively. This isn’t just a job to him. It’s a calling. It’s a way of life. Our country was built by people like him, and even the military depends on them to build, replicate, and make a lasting difference.

Donnie Carper

COO, Head of Internal Operations

A recovering banker with deep roots in Corporate Strategy, Finance, and Risk Management. In his previous career, Donnie held leadership roles in facilitating mergers, executing high profile initiatives, and overseeing operations at scale at some of the world’s largest financial institutions. These hectic and ambiguous environments cultivated a strong lead-from-the-front management style, and an enthusiasm for efficiency and clear communication.

In line with his gained skillset, he drove the execution of the acquisition of RCH Construction, taking the opportunity to more aggressively pursue his long-time passion for real estate development. In concert with the talents brought by the rest of the leadership team, Donnie is able to provide a unique lens as an eye of an institutional investor in order to maximize the value brought to clients through the enhancement or development of their properties.

In his current capacity, Donnie leads internal operations and client relations for RCH Construction.
