I am sure Conspectus will guide 4specs into a great future. As the largest independent specification firm they are knowledgeable about both the needs of specifiers and architects and how to support manufacturers in their marketing to design professionals.
Colin, I am honored to have the opportunity to continue the legacy of a long-time friend
A surprise! But not really; it seems right. Colin, I wish you joy in your retirement. You’ve earned it. I have good memories of 4specs and your efforts to make the industry better. (No Registration, for one example). Thank you for everything.
Congratulations Colin and Dave!
I look forward to many years of a great and useful website!
Colin-
Thank you for building the most valuable online source for learning how to be a specifier. I owe much of my success as a specifier to this powerhouse of wisdom, and to the many wonderful people you brought together here.
Thank you for the support you’ve given my Greater St. Louis Chapter over the years. Some of us still remember your visit and presentation on product selection one fine spring day years ago. I still use some of your information when teaching classes today.
Thanks for your personal kindnesses too. You were always immediately available with a solution when I had a problem to solve or question to answer.
And thank you, maybe most of all, for making sure 4specs.com will live on after your retirement. No question it is in good hands.
Colin, thanks SO much for running this forum. It has truly been a learning experience and helped my technical expertise. And Dave is a great one to lead it into the future.
Colin, until I retired last August I made a daily visit to the 4specs.com discussion forum and fairly frequent visits to other parts of the site. I still occasionally visit because I value the resource so.
Congratulations on your retirement. You have provided a great service to the industry and from what I know of Dave Stutzman I am sure your legacy is in great hands.
Wow Colin! Congrats! Your resolute and unwavering focus and ideals have served this community incredibly well. You’ve certainly earned all of our respect over the years.
David, this is great news and good succession plan. Don’t screw it up! LOL
Colin – Thank you for building and maintaining the fantastic resource over the years. I haven’t used it for all that long, but for the time I have, it has been invaluable. And thank you for leaving it in great hands. I think with with Dave Stutzman and Conspectus Cloud taking over the helm, you have found a successor who will continue your legacy with this great site.
