Chris Brown Assumes Role As Mid-South President 

Mid-South Engineering recently bid a happy retirement to President Marc Stewart after 27 years with the company. “Leaving my daily interactions with this team leaves a Mid-South-logo-shaped hole in my heart,” Stewart comments.

“While we’re sad to say goodbye, we wish Marc all the best in the next phase of his life,” the company stated.

Assuming the role of President is Chris Brown, who has been with the company for 28 years, most recently as vice president. Devoting his entire career to the building products industry, his vast project and process knowledge will allow him to support project execution in its entirety.

John Westerman becomes Vice President in Brown’s place. Westerman has served as project engineer, project manager, and more recently as Group Manager of Solid Wood Projects.
