OFFICERS & STAFF
Jose R. Gomez
Business Manager / Executive Board
I was born in Los Angeles, California. My father is from the State of Michoacán and my mother from the State of Jalisco in the country of Mexico. I came to Saint Louis in 1998. In 2006 my economic situation took a turn for the better, when I joined Laborers Local 110 and worked in concrete for several years. I am married to my wife Nikki, the person who stood by me in my darkest days and we are now proud parents to a sons Ivan and Cruz. Today I have the honor to serve our Union as the first Hispanic Business Agent, Executive Board member, Vice President, Pension board trustee and Welfare board trustee alternate in the history of our Union in the state of Missouri. I also serve as the Executive Vice President of the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement AFL-CIO (St Louis Metro Chapter). I will forever be in debt with our Union and may we never forget those who organized, in 1903 the Laborers International Union of North America, for us all to have a better life.
Rob Reed
Secretary-Treasurer / Executive Board
I joined Local 110 and began my career as a Laborer in 1999. I worked for a variety of Demolition and General Contractors in my first 12 years. I spent the next 6 years working for Accurate Underground on a directional drilling crew in the pipeline industry. The great pay and benefits LiUNA provides has allowed my wife and I to raise two awesome children. As Secretary-Treasurer, I hope to serve the members as well as I have in the past and will continue to fight for what is right for the LiUNA Local 110 membership.
Mark Bielicke
President / Executive Board
I have been an active member of LiUNA! Laborers Local 110 for 30 years. I worked in the field for 25 years before becoming an officer of our local. I have experience and training in all areas of Laborer's work. My skills also include my artistic abilities which give me a way to relax. I have a son who is a member of the gas workers union and he is a fifth generation union man in my family. Taking time to enjoy the outdoors is what I like to do most. My goal as a leader is to give young men and women the opportunity to have a fulfilling career as a LiUNA! Local 110 member.
Brad Wilfong
Vice President / Executive Board
I have been a member of Local 110 since 2003. I started as an Auditor with the Local in 2018, joined the Executive board in 2020 and now serve as Vice President. I spent most of my construction career doing various jobs such as drilling, blasting, tunneling, heavy highway and civil projects. I am glad to serve our membership!
Adam Kreienheder
Recording Secretary / Executive Board
I began working as a laborer along side my father in 2001 doing asphalt work during the summer while going to college. In the summer of 2003 I finished college and decided to pursue a career as a Union Laborer. I have worked in a variety of jobs and companies since then including: everything from demo to tenant finish, pier/foundation work to general cleanup, and companies with under 10 field employees to the big boys here in STL (McCarthy, Alberici, etc.). Even during the hardest days as a laborer I knew I could count on the local and the brotherhood that comes along with it – they were always there to support me and help me get through hard times. I became a full time business agent in 2022 and I look forward to being here for the membership in the same way. I want to help grow and maintain our local to the standard that has been set before me.
Jose Hernandez
Business Agent / Executive Board
I was born in Mexico City and raised in the state of Zacatecas. After graduating high school I was able to move to St Louis under the H2B visa program. In 2015 I got the opportunity to join the union, and I can honestly say it was the best decision I could have made for me and my family. I worked 8 years for Fred M. Luth and Sons, I started as a general laborer, made it to water main pipe layer, then deep sewer pipe layer and eventually became a deep sewer foreman. I started as a Business Agent in November 2023. I will always be grateful to the people that talked me into joining the union, I want to help grow our local and I'm looking forward to serve the members of Local 110 to the best of my abilities.

Upon graduation I lived in a number of places around the country working on campaigns for pro-labor candidates. I moved back to St. Louis in 2012 and took on the role of Government Affairs Director for LiUNA Local 110.

Sarah Schwartz
Office Manager
Hello! My name is Sarah Schwartz. I grew up and still live in Webster Groves, Missouri. I received my B.S. in education along with my teaching degree in middle school math from the University of Missouri St. Louis in 2008. After years of substitute teaching and competing for jobs in an over-saturated market, I looked elsewhere. I started as a cashier at Ace Hardware and quickly moved through the ranks to management. After three years in management at the store I interviewed with Laborers' Local 110 for the office assistant position. I started with the local in 2015, assumed the role of Office Manager in 2017 and if I am lucky enough, plan to spend the rest of my career serving our board and members.
Julie Coffman

I managed a restaurant in Webster Groves for 15 years before I applied for the administrative assistant position with Local 110. I am very honored to serve the members of this Local.
