Gene Frogale

Gene Frogale was SBCA’s President from 2022-2023. In addition to President and now Past-President, Gene has also held the roles of Secretary and Treasurer of SBCA, sitting on the SBCA Board of Directors and Executive Committee. Additionally, he is the Past-President of the SBCA Capital Area Chapter, Co-Chair of the Membership Committee and Chair of the Governance Committee; he also holds a seat on the Finance Committee and is an SBCA Foundation Trustee. Gene’s favorite part of the association and structural building components industry is the people. Gene claims, “Truss people are the best people in the world!”

Some of Gene’s goals for the association are to continue growing SBCA membership, and for our industry to continue striving towards innovative ideas and new ways of doing things. Gene has had many accomplishments throughout his career, but he is particularly proud of leading the charge to successfully increase SBCA’s membership to over 800 members during his SBCA presidency (2021-2023). Some other highlights for Gene are the home dedication SBCA partnered on with Operation Finally Home, the amazing work of SBCA local chapters, and the continuing support from and for this industry by not only contributing time and knowledge to the association through education and networking opportunities, but by also giving back through donations to the SBCA Foundation.

During Gene’s Presidency, he worked at Annandale Millwork and Allied Systems. Now, Gene resides in Virginia where he is the President of Blue Ocean Development and Founding Partner of Moment Innovations, LLC.
