Published

In its March/April 2024 issue, Pro Remodeler unveiled its 13th annual Forty Under 40 awards, a celebration of remodeling’s rising stars showcasing the industry’s future.

“I’ve been fortunate for the past decade to be part of the team that works on Pro Remodeler’s Forty Under 40 awards, and I’m always interested to see new trends among the winners,” stated Erika Mosse, Pro Remodeler’s director of content. “No one would say that a group of 40 people is statistically representative of a whole industry, yet I’ve noticed over the years that the new ideas embraced by this group are often examples of forward-thinking leadership in remodeling.”

Richard Begalla Kelly Kirk
Meghan Billings Noah Lindus
