May 22, 2026/in 2026, Defense, Featured, Lead, News, People, Real Estate, Success, Top 40/by Sarah Zupko

Vic is invested in his community through his commitment to the Huntsville Heart Walk, and he is a strategic leader in construction and development through his work serving some of the largest U.S. defense contractors. In his role as a Project Manager at COPT Defense Properties, he delivers highly specialized, mission‑critical facilities that enable the nation’s leading defense contractors to execute national security operations and sustain key missions at Redstone Arsenal.

His expertise has contributed to the successful delivery of high-security, classified space that directly supports the region’s economic engine, Redstone Arsenal, and Huntsville’s position at the forefront of defense, aerospace, and intelligence innovation.

What do you love most about living and working in Huntsville?

My favorite part about living in Huntsville is the people I get to work with every day. From the jobsite to the conference room, I am always amazed at the expertise of the average Huntsvillian, and it certainly makes my job easier.

What motivates you on hard days?

On hard days, I like to look back on what I have done to get to where I am today. This reflection usually produces a feeling of gratitude to be where I am, and that makes the harder days a little less bleak.

How do you like to spend your time outside of work?

My time outside of work is typically spent getting out and exploring the many attractions Huntsville has to offer. Lately, my go-tos have been hiking Monte Sano and pickleball at Town Madison.

What’s your “why don’t we have this yet?” business idea for Huntsville?

With the increasing popularity of pickleball in the area, I think padel courts would be equally successful. It would give us picklers a sport to play indoors during the winter!

Who has been the biggest influence on your career, and what valuable lesson did they teach you?

My dad has had the biggest influence on my career by teaching me the importance of generating success not just through financial gain, but by the way you make people feel. He always preaches that this is the path to a rich life.
