His leadership skills and industry expertise, combined with access to an exclusive pool of experts make him and his team an invaluable asset to advancing any initiative in the masonry industry and beyond.

"We’re thrilled to have Jason join the team in the Region 3 Director spot. His knowledge and vast experience within the industry makes him a natural fit.
