I am a turnaround entrepreneur who understands how to build and deploy powerful management teams in the building products industry. In 1955, my dad cashed in his whole net worth to buy Gaco. My mom wrote the check in tears and with excitement for a new adventure despite four kids ages 1, 5, 8, 13. In late 1994, I stepped in to reinvigorate our family company. Twenty years later, in partnership with our employees, we brought the company through a successful sale and exit as a star in its technical area.
