Chelsea Husum

Bio:

Chelsea Husum is the founder and CEO of American GPR & Coring, an award-winning construction services company redefining what leadership looks like in the trades. With no formal business training and no industry roadmap, Chelsea built her company from the ground up in 2020 and rapidly scaled it more than 3,500% in its first four years. Today, American GPR & Coring is trusted by leading general contractors and project owners across Colorado for its precision, reliability, and people-first approach.

Chelsea believes construction is not just about concrete — it’s about the places where people live their lives. Her commitment to building safer job sites goes hand-in-hand with her commitment to building a healthier, more human industry. She is known for guaranteeing 40-hour pay for all field employees, investing deeply in team well-being, and creating a culture rooted in trust, stability, and integrity.

Beyond her company, Chelsea is a bestselling author, podcast host, keynote speaker, and community leader. She mentors women entrepreneurs, supports local schools and families, speaks at career days, and leads women’s empowerment events and meetups. She is dedicated to showing others — and her own two sons — that you can lead boldly, live authentically, and build something extraordinary on your own terms.
