Jon W. Pruitt Founder and President, Addison riley

states. His ethics and resolute personality give him a clear objective approach to any service he provides. His ability to handle multiple personalities in high stress situations, such as disputes over construction projects or insurance claims, have earned him great trust by attorneys and adjusters on both sides of the fence in litigation or pre-litigation settlement efforts.

Jon’s construction background started early in life, but became full time in 2004 during the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan when an introduction to a roofing company owner led to a position selling roofs and storm damage repairs. He found the everyday challenges and logistics of the insurance restoration industry enticing due to the constant challenges that require astute problem-solving and negotiating skills.

Jon has worked many storms as a contractor that includes, but are not limited to, the TN and AL tornados of 2011, 2014 floods and 2016 tornados of Pensacola, FL, Hurricane Ivan, Katrina, Ike, Dennis, Irma, Ida, Eta, Laura, Gustav, Michael, Sally, Nicole, and Ian, multiple hail storms, and many water and fire damage claims. In addition to storm restoration and retail construction, he has been retained as a consultant expert or appraiser/umpire in thousands of insurance claims and construction defect litigation cases servicing insureds, insurance companies, and consumers.

In 2015, Jon was honored to serve as the President to the Home Builders Association of West Florida. The organization acknowledged Jon’s leadership and commitment to quality by awarding him the Parade of Homes award for the price point category of $600,000 + and the annual “Builder of the Year” award in the same year. In addition to these awards, his company has been awarded the Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Month award three times.

Greg Kelly, PE, SE, LEED took over as the CEO of Addison Riley, LLC in 2022. Greg’s leadership brings a wealth of real-world experience and knowledge as a historical building and blast expert. Greg was responsible for the maintaining and restoring of many government buildings with his prize accomplishment being responsible for rebuilding the curtain walls at the United Nations along with many other historical projects in the United States and overseas. His desire to create a thriving culture for team members to thrive on their own merits and develop a strategic futurecast for the firm to continue to develop and execute our unique platform of integrity, has given the firm great ability to work synergistically with plaintiff, defendant, and carrier firms alike.
