Roofing/Expert Profile

Expertise

I am available to answer any questions pertaining to residential (or other sloped) metal roofing. I have knowledge of most available products but I like to approach projects from a "needs" basis and analyze them individually. Additionally, I can answer most questions about building ventilation.

Experience in the area

I have worked for a manufacturer of residential metal roofing since 1980. I currently serve as President and have been involved with a wide variety of projects of all types across the world.

Organizations

I am a board member for Metal Construction Association, Metal Roofing Alliance, the local United Way, our church, and our son's school.

Publications

Over the years, I have had articles appear in several trade journals including RSI, Remodeling, and Qualified Remodeler.

Education/Credentials

I have a B.A. in Communications and have also completed three years of training with the E-Myth Academy.

What do you like about this subject?

The fact that every job is different and that you need to look at each project or problems on the basis of its own facts.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

Our goal is to help property owners realize that, just as many other building materials have changed over the years with the development of more beautiful and permanent products, that has happened in the roofing industry as well.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

The ecological benefits of metal roofing. Metal roofing, because of its design and low weight, can often be installed over existing roofs, saving cost and mess and reducing landfill burden. Additionally, metal roofing has high recycled content, is 100% recyclable, and has energy efficient benefits.
