Diana Cole

Started Upland Forge in 2014. Still involved in day-to-day operations — not just the name on the sign.
Our Team
The people behind Upland Forge
Elena Shah
Lead Specialist
Brings 12 years of experience in Knoxville and keeps standards high in the field.
Tom Torres
Client Coordinator
Your point person for scheduling, follow-ups, and the details that keep projects on track.
Why we stay small
Upland Forge deliberately keeps the team tight so you work with familiar faces — not a rotating cast of strangers. When you call, someone who knows your project answers.
We hire for attitude and train for skill. Everyone on this page spends time in the field or on the floor, not only behind a desk.
