A Bit About Me
I grew up in the business and learned the roofing trade from my dad, Mose, the founder of MEB Systems. I have fond memories of being on the roof as early as 8-10 years old. On May 31, 2004, my dad suffered a spinal injury that led to a 100+ day hospital and rehab stay. At that time I was a foreman leading a roofing crew. I took over managing the company immediately following his accident and was named Vice President. In 2016, Mose retired, and my brother Jon and I purchased MEB Systems where I continue to serve as President. I enjoy reviewing systems and processes that make everything run smoothly at MEB. I also work on estimating most of the new construction work that we do.
I am married to the love of my life Julie, since 1999 and we have two daughters and two sons. At the time of this bio (3/8/2024), our oldest daughter Chloe (21) is married and lives in Virginia with her husband Brandon, my daughter Cassi (19), Connor (18), and Cade (17) are still with us at home. I also serve as assistant pastor since 2014 at Trinity Christian in Millersburg. I find great fulfillment in encouraging people to be all that God created them to be. I love spending time with family, working on D.I.Y. projects, motorcycling, traveling, and am also an avid runner.
