I hired on to market and develope business. East Coast builders were not accustomed to flashing windows & doors and it was not a focus with building codes at that time. My first area, the Carolina's and 4 states surrounding. Being a AAMA Certified Master Installer, I worked with local & National builders to educate and train the proper installation of windows and flashing based on AAMA standards and best practice. Worked directly with State & Local Code Officials in addition to Archirects and Sprcifiers to develope requirements for flashing. I was invited to join a Ad Hoc committee with the North Carolina Fire Marshalls Department. This was a 12 month process specifically to develope code standards for window installations (NC is considered the leader in establishing building codes). I also handle the specialty products for Manufactured Housing.Durring my time with Fortifiber, I have basicly worked the entire East Coast.I like what I do and very proud to be a part of Fortifiber Building Systems Group and really believe our products are the best for the application.
