R.E.C. Industries, Inc.

“I was raised in a small, rural town near the border of New York and Pennsylvania. I first began working as a mechanical contractor at a young age. I worked summers and holidays at my father’s mechanical contracting company and learned everything I could about the business. I graduated from Clarkson University where I met Scott Cook and Kathy Lewis. I was an All-American Wrestler and Co-captain of Clarkson’s wrestling team with Scott Cook. I moved to Texas shortly after graduating to help start up our mechanical contracting company with Scott Cook and my brother.

I love the work that I do because I get to see buildings come to life while working with great people. R.E.C. Industries, Inc. would not be successful without the hard work of our amazing team out in the field and in the office. I work to ensure that each and every team member has the tools and resources needed to excel. Outside of mechanical contracting, I enjoy sailing, golfing, and spending time with my family. I am also a very active in PHCC: I have previously served as the National Association’s Secretary and am currently the Vice Chair of PHCC’s Educational Foundation.”

“I was born in upstate New York where I was raised in a large, loving family. I graduated from Clarkson University where I was an All-American Wrestler and Co-captain of the wrestling team with Craig Lewis. I moved to Texas in 1982 to assist Craig with the start-up of R.E.C. Industries, Inc. and have learned a tremendous amount about our industry since then. I love meeting talented, new people out in the field or within companies and organizations with whom we work. The God-given talents our employees have in addition to the positive, friendly relationship they have with other contractors and vendors make us a unique and successful company. I am truly excited to come to work each day because of the great people on our team.

Outside of mechanical contracting, I enjoy family life and being active within the community. Over the years I have been a volunteer baseball, soccer, basketball, and football coach; Treasurer of A&M Consolidated High School’s Tiger Club; and a lecturer at Texas A&M University’s Construction Science Department.”

“I was raised in a small, rural town near the border of New York and Pennsylvania. Mechanical Contracting has been a part of my life since I was a young child. My father has been in the Mechanical Contracting business since the 1950’s. As a teenager I would assist him with clerical work relating to the business and project management. In 1980, when my parents founded REC Industries, Inc., my passion, talent and interest was in Art and Design. I earned a degree in Advertising and Marketing and worked in that industry for more than 20 years. While Mechanical Contracting and Marketing/Advertising seem to be completely different, many of the skills and applications of Management and Project Management are the same. I was asked to and honored to have the opportunity to join our family Mechanical Contracting business – REC Industries, Inc. in 2004.

REC Industries, Inc. is a family business in all senses. Many of our team members have worked with us for decades. We enjoy positive and productive relationships with co-workers, contractors, owners, and vendors in our industry and community. The founders of our company demonstrated that successful contracting is all about quality work, relationships and integrity. I am proud to be a part of this business and to work with my partners toward continued success for our company, families and employees.

Outside of mechanical contracting, I enjoy spending time with my family and being active in my church, volunteering and being active in educational/children’s programs including Head Start, CSISD DEIC, CSISD Leadership, and PTO.”
