This being the Young Guns issue of Roofing Contractor eMagazine, I thought it might be appropriate to share some of my experiences from that time, as Billy Joel says, “When I wore a younger man’s clothes.”
I was blessed from the beginning of my career in roofing to have some of the best people working in the trade as mentors. I did not call them mentors, but they were. Around midway through my career in roofing I was mentored by Mr. Tommy Ponsell. He owned the roofing supply company that was acquired by the company where I was newly employed.
