What is your favorite thing about being an HBA member?
I enjoy the continuing education classes particularly the recent series with Mike Lebas. He brings a unique perspective as an engineer that is extremely helpful to me as a builder.

Our custom home on Burrow Road that was completed last year.

When you sit down at a bar, what are you ordering?
Juicfer.
What has been your favorite HBA|GBR event? Why?
