Members of the group represent the five chapters throughout Florida that make up the statewide association. They are:

  • Mike Gruber – ECS Limited
  • Jonathan Knudsen – Universal Engineering
  • Mark LeBlanc – Specialty Engineering Consultants
  • Steven Lockhart – Finfrock
  • Noman McMillan – CSI Contracting
  • Scott Olthoff – Core Construction
  • Franky Rygiel – Walbridge
  • Steve Sanko, P.E. – Dash Door & Glass

“We hope to provide industry input to our legislature and assure that we never see another tragedy like this again,” Griffin said in the release.
