Exploring Tilt-Up

Mitch Bloomquist serves as Executive Director for the Tilt-Up Concrete Association, the nonprofit professional organization for the global tilt-up construction industry. He facilitates collaboration between a diverse collection of professionals working to advance the design and construction of tilt-up structures. With a passion for community organizing, Mitch is guided by the belief that the most significant impact comes from a collective voice, rich in inclusivity and experience. To that end, Mitch has focused on programming that enhances access to the cross-disciplinary resources of the TCA including the launch of a new online education and training platform, Tilt-Up Academy, the formation of TCA’s young-professionals collaborative, Tilt-Up Industry Leaders of Tomorrow, and the presentation of Tilt-Up Future Think, a series of events working to fast-track real-world application of innovation. In 2019, Mitch established Tilt Lab, a philanthropic partner of the TCA, working to cultivate emerging techniques, technologies, and ideas with promising applicability for the tilt-up concrete construction industry. Mitch graduated with honors from Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa where he studied art and music. He received his Master of Architecture from the Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Design at Washington University in Saint Louis.
