American Athletic Track and Turf( American Athletic) is a national award-winning athletic facility construction company with a proud legacy of delivering premier running tracks, artificial turf fields, tennis courts, and other facilities along the East Coast. Founded in 1983 by Bill Narozanick, the business has its origins in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when Bill worked at his father’ s various businesses. At those businesses, which included an asphalt supply company, a stone quarry, and a road construction business that paved local highways, interstates, and heavy civil projects in the Mid-Atlantic, Bill earned a thorough education in construction and asphalt paving. Nonetheless, it wasn’ t until he attended Florida State University, where he competed on the track team and had the opportunity to see a state-of-the-art track being built, that he saw a way to combine his expertise in construction and passion for athletics. After graduating, Bill returned to his father’ s business for several years. However, when the company was sold, he set out to create his own business in the athletic facility construction sector, leading to the incorporation of American Athletic in 1983.

Over the decades, the company flourished under Bill’ s leadership but since 2019, he has stepped back into an oversight role, leaving the day-to-day management of the business to Al Buciorelli, President and CEO. Al is just one of American Athletic’ s success stories, climbing every rung of the ladder from field laborer and operator to estimator and project manager, to COO and, as of this spring, CEO. Al is one of the longest-tenured members of the team, working there since 1992, and he has helped guide the company alongside Bill as it grew into one of the most vertically integrated sports construction businesses
