After 40 years in the roofing industry, the time has come to close this chapter.
What began as a simple means to earn a quick buck evolved into a lifelong career filled with challenges, growth, and immeasurable fulfillment. There were moments I considered walking away, but in time, I realized that the years invested had become part of my identity and purpose.
Twenty-five years ago, I had the privilege of joining forces with three outstanding individuals; Mike Boodt, Travis Nelson, and Mike Jorgensen. Together, we made the pivotal decision to purchase Palmer Roofing Company, a decision that has proven to be one of the most rewarding of my life. Despite the common caution that “partnerships never work,” ours did because we shared a unified vision: to build and grow something greater than ourselves. Today, Palmer Roofing proudly operates five offices; four in Oregon and one in Washington.
To my partners: thank you for your unwavering dedication, integrity, and friendship over the years. I will always be grateful.
To the team at our Kennewick office: working alongside you has been one of the great honors of my career. Your professionalism, commitment, and camaraderie have left a lasting impression, and I will miss you deeply.
To the many contractors and clients who have placed their trust in us: thank you. Your support has allowed us to consistently pursue excellence, and we’ve always strived to meet your expectations with integrity and care.
My final day with Palmer Roofing will be Friday, June 27th. While it’s not easy to step away, I do so with gratitude in my heart and pride in what we’ve built together.
Thank you—for the journey, the memories, and the opportunity to serve.
