Given a choice, Dan would rather be outside. As a superintendent at John F. Shea roofing, he often gets his wish. “I can’t be cooped up,” he admits. Whether rebuilding a church steeple in New Bedford, MA or reconstructing a New England landmark, his days entail “going to different jobs, making sure the team is doing all the details according to the specs.”
“We do a lot of specialty jobs,” he explains, “something a regular roofing company couldn’t do.” Dan joined John F. Shea in 1993 as a foreman and has held his current position since 2001. Asked about his lengthy tenure he responds “I just enjoy working. I love doing roofing!”
Besides allowing him his fresh air, Dan’s position allows him to interact with internal teams, clients and vendors. “I come in contact with everyone,” he explains. The changing nature of the industry also keeps Dan on his toes. “It’s constantly changing,” he notes. “Systems change all the time while we find out what works, what doesn’t work. We implement new ways of roofing; new manufacturers are doing different things — We always have to keep up.”
What hasn’t changed in the last three decades? John F. Shea’s priorities. “John F. Shea cares about their employees,” asserts Dan. “They care about our safety, and that’s a huge aspect of the business.” When he’s not working, the North Attleboro, MA resident enjoys golfing, fishing and spending time with his wife and two sons.
