ABOUT
3 Panther Contracting, LLC is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) established in 2020, specializing in construction management and general contracting services for federal, state, and private sector clients.
The company is led by James Arterburn, a U.S. Army veteran who served with the 82nd Airborne Division from 2001 to 2005. During his service, Mr. Arterburn deployed in support of operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, completing his enlistment as an Airborne Paratrooper Sergeant. His military service earned him the Bronze Star Medal, Army Commendation Medals, and multiple Army Achievement awards.
