John Potter

A proud Pueblo native, John Potter spent nearly 30 years serving his community through his work at Pueblo Regional Building. Now a key part of Potter Excavating, John brings decades of experience, leadership, and a strong work ethic to the table.

After retiring from public service, he joined his son Talon to help build the company from the ground up. His no-nonsense attitude keeps the team focused and the work honest—just ask Talon, who jokes that his dad keeps everyone in line whether they like it or not.

John’s dedication to doing things right and his deep roots in the community are a big part of what makes Potter Excavating the trusted local name it is today. For John, it’s about more than just moving dirt—it’s about serving people with integrity.
