Mike started in the SBC industry in 1988 after graduating from college with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering Technology. Mike started in the industry at a large component manufacturer in PA with extensive prior construction experience. During his high school and college years, Mike worked in construction; specializing in masonry, rough framing, roofing and drywall installation as well as electrical and plumbing. Mike worked as a Project Manager/coordinator of complete residential building packages.
In 1994 Mike accepted a design position in Erie, Pa. Initially, his employer was concerned that Mike was not familiar with the MiTek software but, within a week of being hired Mike was producing floor and roof truss paperwork with MiTek 2000 and shortly thereafter Mike was drafting residential house plans and preparing panel paperwork with ICG Builders Cad and Autocad software. In 1997 on Mike’s last day at the company, the owner’s son was heard to say, “There’s no truss Mike can’t design and no house that he can’t draw”.
In 1998 Mike started working at another Erie, Pa. company. This father and son business wanted to take their product line to the next step towards one-stop prepared and serviced framing packages. Mike started out using Comsoft’s Wall Builder software, preparing material takeoffs and panel packages. By 2008 Mike was promoted to senior designer responsible for overseeing an 8 person drafting, estimating and design department and helping to coordinate numerous Custom Residential and Commercial projects hand in hand with our Sales Department. Great pride was taken in building solid working relationships with Contractors, Architects, Engineers and Building Inspectors.
Mike brings to Component Runner over 32 years’ experience in all facets of the construction and SBC industry.
