Serving on the Executive Committee this year as Secretary/Treasurer has been an incredibly engaging and fulfilling experience. The dedication exhibited by the EC and Board members to the well-being of this organization is inspiring and I am privileged to be a part of it.

In my free time, I enjoy gardening, reading, hiking, and cooking. I also enjoy visiting my parents who still live in the middle-of-nowhere, Pennsylvania and my older brother in Colorado.
Secretary/Treasurer Candidate Forum Candidates: Jon Cannon and Shawn LeCrone Date: Wednesday, January 7, 2026 Time: 11:00 a.m.–Noon ET Register here.
My career in the building enclosure industry began in 2001, where I was quickly immersed in the technical rigor and mentorship that define our profession. Those early experiences navigating job sites in the Texas heat and learning from seasoned professionals instilled in me a deep respect for both the science and the people behind building enclosure work.
In 2009, I co-founded Hollon+Cannon Group, where I continue to serve as Managing Principal and a senior consultant.
Across more than two decades in the industry, I’ve remained deeply engaged in professional service through IIBEC. From my early involvement as a chapter founder to my current role as Region IV Director, I have worked to strengthen our chapters, mentor young professionals, and contribute to committees, task forces, and strategic planning sessions that shape the future of our association. These collective experiences have given me a comprehensive perspective on IIBEC’s mission and an unwavering commitment to its continued growth and leadership within the building enclosure community.

Over the past two decades, I have had the privilege of serving IIBEC in many capacities. These experiences have provided a broad perspective on our organization, its challenges, and the opportunities ahead.
I have witnessed firsthand the dedication of our volunteers and the value their efforts bring to members and the broader industry. From committee work to strategic planning, my involvement has reaffirmed my belief that IIBEC’s greatest strength lies in its people — those who devote their time, knowledge, and passion to advancing the building enclosure profession.
If elected Secretary/Treasurer, I will bring the transparency, diligence, and accountability that define my professional practice. I believe in responsible stewardship that prioritizes sustainability and strategic growth while supporting education, advocacy, and member enrichment—and most importantly, continuing to increase the value of IIBEC to its members. Our resources must sustain the present and empower the future, ensuring IIBEC remains the premier source for building enclosure expertise.
I am committed to collaboration and strengthening the bonds between members, chapters, leadership and industry partners. My goal is to foster a culture of integrity, and mentorship honoring the legacy of those who built this organization while equipping the next generation to carry it forward. IIBEC has shaped my career and professional identity, and I am honored for the opportunity to give back in a role that supports its continued excellence and stability.

Starting a family at a young age motivated me to turn my passion for drafting into a meaningful career. I began in an entry -level position with a roof consulting company, where my drafting skills opened the door to an incredible professional journey. Through hard work, dedication, and a few cross-country moves, I advanced within the company—eventually becoming President 18 years after I first started.
I’ve been fortunate to have the unwavering support of my amazing wife of 26 years, who, along with our three children, stood by me through every challenge and relocation. The building enclosure industry has been instrumental in providing the opportunities that shaped both my career and my family’s life. Now, I’m in a position to give back to the profession and the association that gave so much to us.
When I’m not collaborating with our team or working with school districts, you’ll likely find me on the golf course, chasing a little white ball around 18 holes and enjoying time outdoors with family and friends.

I have been a member of IIBEC (RCI) since 1992. I left the industry for a few years and did not maintain my membership the entire time. I have vast amount of experience establishing, mentoring, and running IIBEC Chapters. I believe serving as Region V Director would be a wonderful opportunity for me to contribute to the professional development of other IIBEC members. I have personally benefited from the friendships I have been blessed to have with others in the IIBEC family.
I strongly believe in the mission of IIBEC and each of the IIBEC Chapters. Having served as Secretary, Vice President and President of multiple chapters, I have learned what makes chapters successful and how to steer chapters toward success. I have had budget responsibility, overseen annual planning, fundraising and accounting for local chapters. My knowledge and contacts throughout the Building Envelope Industry makes me an ideal candidate to facilitate growth, and promote stewardship opportunities.
I believe I can help advance the work of the region by working collaboratively with the chapter leaders and the IIBEC Board of Directors.
