I have been working in the truss design field since 1997, primarily in the multifamily design side of things. In 2011, I started a multi-mamily design company, River Raisin Truss Design, based in Michigan, that would cater to truss companies needing overflow design services. From that point things moved quickly, we partnered with another truss company in 2012 and grew that into a thriving company. In 2016, Mike Bellows, Don Groom, and I created Trussworks as it’s known today. I was grateful for the partnership then and now. The key to everything is and was the people. To this day we have truss designers I hired in 2004, '05, '06 and '07 working in design and upper management throughout Trussworks. The journey thus far has been wonderful and I’m sure the unwritten chapters to come will be even better.
