than some would in three lifetimes, and in as diverse a set of industries as you could imagine. Rodger founded AlphaGraphics, Printshops of the Future, in 1970. By 1988, he had expanded that business to 400 locations across 20 countries. Not content with one successful venture, he also co-founded PetsHotel, which revolutionized the pet boarding industry through the provision of an upmarket sanctuary for cats and dogs. So successful was the concept that in 2000, the company was acquired by PetsMart. Today, there is a PetsHotel in most PetsMart outlets. It might surprise you to discover that some of Rodger’s most significant and beneficial work took place in the realm of medicine, where he was the CEO of SynCardia between 2005 and 2011. There Rodger changed the operating philosophy of the company from that of a “science project” to a bioscience pioneer. The result saw the achievement of ground-breaking milestones in the realm of artificial heart technology. Rodger spotted the potential for CFS frame construction in 2022. His approach to the business is that of an out-of-the-box thinker, a visionary, and a man with tremendous entrepreneurial spirit and knowledge of how to effectively and efficiently bring concepts to market. Brad Cooper There is little about residential construction that Brad Cooper doesn’t know. Having been involved in the construction industry for 22 years, Brad is the owner of MC2 Homes based in Benson, Arizona. His specialty is the construction of custom-designed properties where, as he puts it, “Each design has a meaning and a purpose.” Brad was quick to identify the many advantages of CFS frame construction and now considers it a necessity in the homes he builds. He spotted the potential for CFS frame construction from a practical point of view and with a constructor’s eye for the whole process. While understanding how the system can be used to help construct affordable housing, he also recognised the potential for the construction of larger properties that he could offer at a more competitive price. CFS frames provide significant improvement, coupled with considerable savings in construction time and labor costs.
