“In residential construction, walls are the operating system. Every trade touches them and every delay runs through them. If you simplify and digitize the wall system, you simplify the entire build. PrimeWall can frame a production home in roughly two hours, and when combined with AI-Driven design and distributed fabrication, it fundamentally changes labor math and cycle time at scale. That’s what makes this transformative,” added Mike Farmer.
I serve as a board leader and strategic advisor to companies operating at the intersection of manufacturing, distribution, and building innovation.
Over an 18-year career at Builders FirstSource, culminating as President of Commercial Operations, I led national sales, manufacturing, and operational excellence across a multi-billion-dollar platform during a period of significant industry consolidation and growth.
Today, my focus is governance, strategic scale, and capital discipline:
• Vice Chair, Global Building Technologies
• Executive-in-Residence, ProfitOptics
• Commercial Advisor, Andluca
• Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Farmer Hospitality
I currently chair the Compensation Committee and serve on the Operations Committee for Blood Cancer United, overseeing executive compensation, performance alignment, and operational oversight within a governance framework comparable to public company boards.
I bring an operator’s lens to board service, with experience in:
– Multi-site manufacturing and distribution networks
– Commercial transformation and pricing strategy
– M&A evaluation and integration
– Capital allocation and operating discipline
– Executive hiring and succession planning
I am particularly interested in companies modernizing traditional industries through structural innovation.
