Scott Benson
Scott is the latest member of our AGP team and will serve as our Eastern US Sales Manager. Welcome!
"My career began in construction at a young age due to my father being a Union Iron Worker in the Chicago area where I began to study architecture in college. Learning that I enjoyed the technical side of construction more than the design of architecture, in other words, “Where art meets science,” I decided to pursue a career working with architects as a building products representative. I’ve enjoyed a career as an architectural representative, estimator and sales manager in the glazing, building safety, and renewable energy arenas where I like to bring knowledge to those who seek a better way."
