TAMKO Building Products Inc. has announced a resource for roofing industry professionals; Rick the Roofer, also known as Field Sales Training Manager Rick Taylor. As a TAMKO products expert with nearly 50 years of roofing industry experience, including the past 24 years at TAMKO, Rick the Roofer will specialize in product and installation training.
“Rick knows roofing and he knows TAMKO,” says TAMKO Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Stephen McNally. “This position is the perfect way to expand his leadership of training as a resource for contractors.”
Rick the Roofer will travel nationwide in a custom-built truck and trailer that is designed to transport portable TAMKO product displays and equipment for product installation demonstrations at locations such as dealers, distributors and industry trade events. McNally says, “We’re thrilled to have Rick the Roofer out in the field continuing to grow relationships with industry professionals on behalf of TAMKO.”

The event featured live product and training demonstrations from Rick along with TAMKO product and gear giveaways. Joplin-area contractors, builders, dealers and distributors were in attendance.
Rick says, “I’ve always enjoyed working with roofers, meeting people, and spreading the word about the TAMKO products that I love. Now, I’ll be traveling across America doing just that!”
