Giving Back to the Industry — Featuring Jeff Thompson

CRCA is the leading trade association of roofing and waterproofing contractors in Illinois and our very own Jeff Thompson was featured.

Excerpts from the article:

“Thompson entered the industry like so many others, as a summer job, quickly realizing that the $6.50 per hour wage was pretty enticing to stick around and support his new bride. He became a Local 60 (Fox Valley) apprentice but went into management, while still four hours short of Journeyman. Thompson [earned a] Construction Management Degree from Aurora University.”

“Thompson is proud of his safety track record by commenting ‘Our most important employee / public commitment is to have a career without the loss of life or serious injury, which I’m proud to have attained.’”

“Thompson stated, ‘A roofer has to be a strong, hard-working person without the fear of heights and able to work outside in all elements of the weather, from dead calm days with heat indexes in the 100’s to wind chills below zero’.”
