Letter From The Editor Welcome to the June issue of Today's Roofer Magazine. Our goal is to give you a publication that is easy to read, and both interesting and informative. I'm writing this a couple of days before the Memorial Day Weekend. When my daughters were young it was always an important family weekend. They were fresh out of school and excited to start the Summer. We wouldn't go on a long vacation, just far enough out of town to say we'd been "on a trip." Living in Colorado there were a lot of overnight options! Now the girls are grown and living their lives, one has her own family. But I still love this weekend. Grilling with friends, maybe a movie…it's a good way to kick off the summer. Of course in our business many of us have been hard at work for the last couple of months. As soon as it was warm enough to put shingles down we got busy. In this issue we want to give you some ways to strengthen and grow that business. Our contractor profile for the month will introduce you to Lenn Chandler. Lenn started his first roofing company while still in college, and has built a couple more in the years since. Interestingly, he has also had a "side career" in information technology, and today is balancing both. 2 Today’s Roofer / June 2015
