STEVE CONBOY, President and Chief Executive Officer
Steve has over 30 years of experience in the framing, engineered wood products, and lumber industry.
Following 17 years of framing he went to work for Trus Joist, Weyerhaeuser. During his tenure with Trus Joist Steve was transferred to Las Vegas to convert the market from Open-Web joists to I-Joists.
The successful conversion process required extensive training of the carpentry and mechanical trades in the proper installation and penetration of engineered I-Joists. In 2001 Steve started Framers Choice Inc. in Las Vegas, Nevada. FCI teamed with Nascor products to capture the I- Joist market in the Western United States. Steve's successes lead to an opportunity in 2003 to merge his company with that of a large lumber and engineered wood products manufacturing company. Steve's framing background and engineered wood experience were applied to create the Wide and Deep floor system.
Steve's creation provided his customers with better performing floors, lower building cost and reduced cost of ownership for the homeowner. Steve's desire to expand the company's vision beyond floor joists and beams led to his buy out in September of 2005. Free to fulfill his vision of building a company to supply the whole framing package, Steve revived Framers Choice, Inc. (FCI) in December of 2005 and opened his technical office in Ontario, CA in March of 2006. Steve defined and branded his whole framing package as the Frame Right System in the spring of 2006.
