Past NAFCA Presidents
Honoring Those Who Built The Foundation
North American Fence Association
NAFCA is built on service, leadership, and a shared commitment to moving the fence industry forward. Our Past Presidents played a critical role in shaping the organization’s direction, strengthening its mission, and laying the groundwork for the impact NAFCA continues to make today.
Each president brought their own perspective, experience, and leadership style — united by a common belief that the fence industry can do more for the communities it serves. Their dedication helped transform NAFCA into an organization rooted in action, collaboration, and purpose.
This page honors the leaders who stepped forward, carried the responsibility, and helped build the foundation NAFCA stands on today.
