Larry is the Executive Director of the Steel Framing Industry Association (SFIA), the industry organization dedicated to expanding the market for cold-formed steel, representing all US and Canadian steel mills, and manufacturers, coil and stud suppliers, contractors, and design professionals who are involved in the vast majority of steel framing products in the US and Canada. In May of this year, the Cold-Formed Steel Framing Engineers Institute (CFSEI) became part of the SFIA, bringing the total roster up to 2,100 members. https://buildsteel.org/, the steel framing industry’s resource for promoting and supporting the use of cold-formed steel, is also under the SFIA umbrella with nearly 500,000 users in the last 12 months as well as the BuildSteel Weekly e-newsletter with a subscriber base of 10,000 readers.
As the executive staff member of the SFIA, he establishes and manages all aspects of the organization’s strategy, provides coordination between allied industry groups, and oversees a network of staff members who implement programs to accomplish industry goals.
