Position Statement
Since joining IIBEC in 2008, I have strived to become an active member and to contribute by reinforcing IIBEC’s principles and goals within our industry. IIBEC has been instrumental in defining the roles and responsibilities of building enclosure professionals and the development of my consulting career. The collaboration of the manufacturers, contractors, and professionals within IIBEC embodies my personal approach as a building enclosure expert to ensure successful project outcomes. As a member of the Executive Committee, I will continue to support IIBEC with the same level of passion and dedication with the commitment to support IIBEC’s Strategic Plan.
Technical Notoriety/Professional Practice: As a professional in the building enclosure industry, I often find myself explaining the role and need for an IIBEC certified professional on projects. Therefore, my goal will be to develop recognition for each of the IIBEC certifications so that they become more mainstream and acknowledged as “professional” designations within our industry.
Networking/Collaboration/Branding: All successful endeavors are best supported by a multi-skilled and disciplined team working toward a common goal. As such, I would like to grow the personal and business opportunities within the individual IIBEC members, as well as partnerships within the IIBEC and international building enclosure community.
Education/Certification: As a majority of my IIBEC contributions have been centered on the growth of membership’s technical knowledge, I will continue supporting this effort by developing our educational and certification programs, as well as promoting their industry-wide support.
Thank you for the opportunity to run for IIBEC’s Executive Committee. I look forward to serving you.

Technical Publications
IIBEC is the organization that is and should be the driving force in the roofing and building enclosure industry and profession for education and registrations.
In this time of COVID and the year 2020, it should be IIBEC’s role to continue to solidify and promote our organization and the building enclosure consulting industry. Now, more than ever, IIBEC needs to support its members and chapters by modernizing communication, education, and networking events like the convention and building enclosure symposium.
With the aging population of our member base, it is more important than ever to promote the organization to attract younger and a more diverse membership. I believe that attracting younger members from universities, trade schools, and at early stages of their career is paramount to bringing in new members to our industry and continue the growth of IIBEC.
IIBEC should continue to develop and increase our recognization and profile in the building enclosure industry and ensure that our registrations become more recognized. Advocating for our members and registrations needs to be a priority, and we need to develop plans and commit resources to promote IIBEC within the industry.
I have had the great fortune of being involved in IIBEC throughout my career and have benefited both professionally and personally. If elected again to the EC, I will continue my staunch effort to advocate for this organization, its registrations, members, and their interests
My wife, Shelly, and I have been married for 14 years. We have two children: Lance, 13 and Alina, 11.

I have run over 40+ full marathons (26.2 miles) including all the world major marathons: Boston, Chicago, New York, Berlin, London, and Tokyo. I am working toward my goal of running a marathon on all 7 continents and in 2019 ran a marathon in Antarctica.
