A commercial aluminum window company, Graham purchased Keystone and re-allocated the personnel to fit within their existing "company tree". I was placed under Mr. DeRosa Jr. (now VP of Business and Product Development) to be the Product Design Manager. This consists of working with our extensive Sales team members, Architects and Michael DeRosa, to come to a mutual agreement on custom product designs and installation accessories for larger projects. I also remain active in assisting with the development of the V6 database which Graham also happens to use for Estimating.

New Castle, Pa

This was a commercial aluminum window manufacturer located in New Castle, PA. My first responsibilities were to manage inventory and develop product and project drawings. As I grew (along with the company) in my knowledge of the window business, I familiarized myself with the new computers and server system we upgraded to, and converted all the paper drawings into CAD for use on this system. Eventually, we purchased an estimating software called V6 from Softtech, which is a CAD based program, I became the DBM for this, entering all the data and maintaining the database and software. Along with these things, I also assisted in designing many exciting products alongside the owner, Michael DeRosa Jr. - a brilliant man for the world of windows, and a mentor like no other. As the business continued to grow, some of these responsibilities were taken from me to enable me to better focus on new product design and development as well as the use of the estimating software. Due to economic situations, Keystone had to be sold, and was purchased by Graham Architectural Products. A much larger and more influential company in the commercial window market, Graham has accepted the Keystone personnel as their own, a very comforting transition took place that we all enjoy today.
