MEET STUART MCMANUS

Since first joining the Schad team in early 2018, it is very apparent that Stuart’s passion for the industry, as well as his competitive nature and determination to succeed are his greatest strengths. Stuart brings a very strong work ethic and a lot of energy to work with him every day. For this reason, his co-workers and his customers look forward to seeing him out on his jobsites.

At the jobsites, Stuart is innovative and is constantly seeking ways to make the tasks safer and more efficient. He pushes the people around him to be better and leads through example.

Outside of work, Stuart is fun to be around and exhibits tremendous dedication to his family and friends. He brings his ambition, detail-oriented nature, and determination to succeed in his parenting, his cooking, and his never ending home improvement projects!

Schad is grateful to have him as a member of its team.
