Alan has been with the company since he was a young man. He began working for the company at the Stratford location in 1971, and his primary experience there involved carpentry. When John was sent to open the Park Falls location, Alan volunteered to join him. Alan continued working as a head carpenter for years until he moved into the office. Alan does a great deal of estimating, especially for shingle and metal roofs. His many years of carpentry have allowed him to understand the building process better than most, which results in the ability to help contractors and customers plan jobs according to code and safety as well as problem-solve unique and difficult situations.
