Biography of Dawson Spano, President and CEO of Profiles in Wood, Inc.

Mr. Spano was born in Baltimore Maryland in 1957. His father served in the Air Force which meant he traveled all over the world as a child. He spent most of his later childhood in a very rural part of southern New Hampshire with only 15 students (from Brookline) in his high school graduating class (1975). He graduated from the Florida Institute of Technology in 1979 and went to work for a small Aerospace company in Florida designing ground, sea and space deployable communication systems. In 1999 he became the engineering manager of the Mechanical Engineering department. After several years in that position he went back to engineering design with assignments in the Mediterranean and finally back home working on the Joint Strike Fighter program. He "retired" from the corporate world in 2003 to manage Profiles in Wood, Inc. full time.

Mr. Spano has a BS Degree in Engineering, has several patents and is the President and CEO of Profiles In Wood, Inc. which holds a North Carolina Intermediate Residential Contractor's license. He is an elder in the Presbyterian Church of America, has been on a short term mission trip to Romania, and served on the Haywood County Tourism Advisory Commission. He is currently the Vice President of the Haywood County Home Builders Association and serves on the Haywood County Sediment and Erosion Control Board
