10 • ROCK products • May 2015 www.rockproducts.com App of the Month First of all, congratulations. How do you feel about receiv- ing the Mark S. Walsh Award? It is definitely an honor to be consid- ered in the same group as previous Mark S. Walsh Award winners such as Paul Mellott Jr., Rich Blake, Bill Sand- brook and Charlie Luck IV, to name just a few. These are all people who have had a positive impact on the industry throughout their careers, and I believe they all lead by example. Hopefully we can all follow the standard they and the other Mark S. Walsh Award winners have set. Why is the Young Leaders organization so important to the industry? It is a group that brings together industry professionals from all over the United States, and occasionally other countries in a relaxed setting where they can take the opportunity to learn from others in the aggregates industry, as well as learn new ideas from the presenters, that they can take back to their jobs and utilize immediately. The Young Leaders Coun- cil is a cross section of the aggregates business. The group is made up of sales, operations, and finance professionals from public companies, private companies and has both produc- ers and suppliers. After every previous Young Leaders meet- ing I went to, when I got back to the office, I was able to apply something I had learned in the seminars and presentations, improving my performance in some way. Being involved in the Young Leaders enabled me to perform at a higher level at work, and gave me the opportunity to establish a broad network with other industry professionals and develop real friendships with many of those same people. How did you get involved in Young Leaders? Bob Sells, who I worked with at Centex Construction Prod- ucts at the time, recommended I go to the meeting. He had attended many of the first YLC meetings regularly, before he Dennis Coker, Natural Resource Partners Winner of the 2015 Mark S.
