Event Chair and Co-Founder

Crawford-Tracey Corporation co-founded the Glass+Metal Symposium in 2012 with the idea to create an educational and interactive forum for architects and industry professionals who deal with the design and construction of the building envelope in Florida. Crawford-Tracey is the largest Florida based glazing contractor in the industry offering a complete line of impact and non impact-resistant window and door products. The company designs, manufactures and installs all of its products.

Event Co-Chair

Enviralum Industries, Inc. is a storefront system and entrance door manufacturer that services the glazing contractors and manufacturers of other fenestration products to complement their production lines. Enviralum systems are tested for hurricane codes but they offer variable glazing, so they are not limited to use in hurricane-prone areas.
