After his brother's passing, Alderman founded Morehead-based underground utilities company, G & W Construction Co., Inc.  in 1992. He served as president of the company for 17 years. While under his direction, G & W Construction Co., Inc., completed more than 100 water and sewer line installation projects throughout Kentucky and Ohio. Alderman passed away in 2009, leaving the company to his son, Darrell Alderman. 

A lifelong resident of Kentucky, Darrell Alderman is the president and owner of G & W Construction Co., Inc. He began his construction career as a teenager working for his father, before following an interest in drag racing. He began drag racing at local race tracks, and in the early 1980s, started racing professionally in the Pro Stock category in the IHRA and HNRA, where he had several wins. This early success led Alderman to partner with Wayne County Speed Shop in 1986. Alderman, driving a Dodge Daytona, competed in the Pro Stock Category in NHRA, and was named Rookie of the Year in his first full year of competition. In 1988, Mopar began sponsoring Alderman, a relationship which would last for the next 16 years, until Alderman retired from the sport in 2004. 

Following his retirement from professional racing in 2004, Alderman returned his attention to his family's construction business. Today, he oversees operation of G & W Construction Co., Inc., alongside son, Chase, growing the business from its roots in sewer and water lines to include directional drilling, aerial and fiber, and utility supplies. Under Darrell's supervision, G & W is leading the industry in directional drilling with training from certified specialists on Horizontal Directional Drill rigs, general HDD techniques and safety procedures. According to Vermeer Heartland president, Stephen Farrens, "G & W Construction is considered an expert in the field of directional drilling and utility installation with experience in a variety of ground conditions, including rock."
