Business Person of The Year
Paul Chavez, a lifelong Albuquerque native, grew up in the family business — Apache Construction/Valley Fence — starting work as soon as he could reach the tool bench. A graduate of Sandia View Academy, he credits the school with helping guide him away from negative paths and toward purpose. After attending UNM, Paul officially committed to the family company, where he has proudly served the South Valley community and maintained strong involvement with the Hispano Chamber of Commerce. Married to his wife Angela since 1976, with children and grandchildren he adores, Paul is now transitioning the business to the next generation — including his son Tyler — and looking forward to retirement filled with travel, family time, and the occasional improved golf swing.
Tyler Chavez
is a proud graduate of Southwestern Adventist University, earning his bachelor’s degree in 2011 and MBA in 2013, the same year he married his wife, Taylor. Together they are raising their son, Henry, and hoping to grow their family. Tyler joined Valley Fence full-time in 2013 and became General Manager in 2018, honored to continue the legacy established by his father, Paul, as a third-generation leader in the making. He has also been an active member of the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce executive board since 2021 and remains committed to supporting the chamber and the community it serves.
