Billy is the Founder of Fab II.  He bought a welder and other equipment, and started building columns and ‘buckets’ (truss hangers) out of his garage.  Welding was his business, and business was good!  He grew quickly, and 16 years and a few locations, later,  Rich Chalupsky and Thomas Linn got the opportunity to purchase the business.  Billy was led, somewhat reluctantly, into retirement with the lovely Eileen,  but he still stops in to make sure we haven’t wrecked the place yet…

We are very proud to carry on his traditions.  He most important advice to us-  “Southwest Florida is a bunch of good old regular folks.  You take care of them, and have pride in what you do, and they will take care of you.”  Well said!
