The Four Cornerstones of a Construction Champion! Construction Champions Podcast 2-79 Todd Miller

In this episode of the Construction Champions podcast, host Ron Nussbaum interviews Todd Miller, President of Isaiah Industries, Inc., a manufacturer of specialty residential metal roofing products. Todd shares his insights on what it takes to become a true "construction champion" based on his 40+ years of experience working with contractors across North America. About Todd I’m Todd Miller, and I do know my way around a roof. I grew up in my family’s metal roofing business and continue to work with some of the same products my dad helped develop years ago. Now, I am president of Isaiah Industries; an organization that is recognized as one of the world’s leading metal roofing manufacturers. Our brands include Classic Metal Roofing Systems, Kassel & Irons, and Green American Home. In the last 35+ years, I have worked in the leading industry trade groups to raise the bar on standards and practices that provide people with the best possible products for their roofing needs. My participation in the development, support, and leadership of organizations such as the Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA), the Metal Construction Association (MCA) and others has allowed me to learn about all types and means of protecting homes, commercial buildings, and public structures. If you would like to learn more about my credentials, please review my Curriculum Vitae. Most importantly, I have helped homeowners with a large number and wide variety of questions and problems related to roofing their dwellings…and I would enjoy helping you, too.
