Regional Commercial Sales Vice President for the Northwest Region. Regional
vice presidents provide overall direction to the company's SSC (Security &

architects and end users, and provide a critical link between the commercial
field organization and corporate headquarters.

region are strong and we have a very high performance team. Our customer base
is well respected by the local end users and I look forward to helping the entire
team becoming even more proficient."

years. Previous stints include sales and customer service management experience
with Owens Corning and Armstrong World Industries. Brust graduated from the
University of New Hampshire. He will continue to reside in Colorado.
Regional Realignment
In consort with Brust's promotion, the company has realigned regional responsibilities
commencing May 1. The new alignment will not affect local relationships at the

reporting lines lets us give people a new outlook on some different markets,
share best practices across new territories and further develop our sales leadership."
In addition to Brust, Darren
Blankenship will cover the Southwest Region, Rick White will cover the Midwest
Region, and Chuck Strauss will cover the East Region. Leif Selstad remains covering
Canada.
