Spotlight on Jack Moore: Rugged Coatings’ Director of Business Development for the Roofing Division
At Rugged Coatings, we pride ourselves on being an industry leader in roofing and restoration coatings. The addition of Jack Moore to our team as Director of Business Development for the Roofing Division is a significant milestone in our mission to provide premium roof solutions. With over 30 years of experience in the spray polyurethane foam roofing and weatherproofing industry, Jack brings unparalleled knowledge, leadership, and vision to our team.
A Wealth of Experience
Jack’s career is a testament to his deep understanding of the roofing industry, particularly within the SPF sector. His journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Toledo, graduating in May 1994. Since then, he has accumulated a vast array of certifications and accomplishments, including SPFA PCP Certified Project Manager credentials, OSHA 30-hour training, and hands-on experience with EOS Implementation.
His impressive career includes 20 years as a Sales Engineer for an SPF Roofing Contractor, a role in which he honed his skills in sales strategy, contractor relationships, and technical knowledge. Jack’s expertise was not just limited to sales. For five years, he served as the CEO and President of an SPF Roofing Contractor, where he led teams, managed complex projects, and developed a deep understanding of the challenges faced by contractors in the field.
Jack’s entrepreneurial spirit shines through with his ownership of AGB Weatherproofing, where he spent 10 years manufacturing The Roof Scarfer and Channel Master—two innovative products that have contributed to more efficient roofing processes. He also founded a Polyurethane Foam Concrete Lifting Company, further expanding his technical and business acumen in diverse areas of the construction industry.
This extensive experience allows Jack to bring a unique perspective to Rugged Coatings. Having been both a contractor and a manufacturer, he has a well-rounded view of the market’s needs, challenges, and opportunities, especially in the roofing sector.
A New Role at Rugged Coatings
As the Director of Business Development for Rugged Coatings’ Roofing Division, Jack’s primary responsibility is to identify and address the needs of SPF roofing and restoration coatings contractors. His focus is clear: to drive increased market share for Rugged by using creative marketing strategies, expanding consumer education, and enhancing contractor training and development programs.
One of Jack’s main goals is to bridge the gap between manufacturers and contractors by ensuring that Rugged provides the kind of support he wished for during his three-decade career in the field. He recognizes that many large manufacturers struggle to offer the right combination of technical support, agility, and problem-solving capabilities that contractors need. At Rugged, he sees the potential to deliver both quality at scale and customized, flexible solutions that set contractors up for success.
Leveraging His Experience for Rugged’s Success
Jack’s extensive career gives him a unique edge in his role at Rugged. As someone who has spent nearly 30 years in the shoes of the end user, he deeply understands the pain points and needs of SPF contractors. This experience allows him to relate directly to the challenges contractors face and to design solutions that genuinely make a difference.
“My time as a contractor showed me what would have made my work more efficient and effective. I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it can be for larger manufacturers to provide the right support, both for contractors and for consumers. Rugged is in a position to excel here—we are large enough to meet high demand but nimble enough to solve problems quickly and creatively. Combine that with our family-oriented culture, and I believe we are poised to become the preferred choice for premium roof solutions,” Jack shares.
This combination of large-scale capabilities with personalized support is what excites Jack the most about his new role at Rugged. He sees an opportunity to not only grow the company’s market share but also to change the way roofing contractors view manufacturer partnerships.
Looking to the Future
With Jack Moore at the helm of business development for the Roofing Division, Rugged Coatings is entering an exciting new phase of growth and innovation. His leadership, informed by decades of hands-on experience, ensures that Rugged is positioned to not only meet the needs of SPF roofing contractors but exceed their expectations.
By focusing on contractor education, creative marketing, and comprehensive technical support, Jack aims to make Rugged the go-to partner for contractors seeking high-performance, durable roofing solutions. His vision, backed by a proven track record of success, aligns perfectly with Rugged’s commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction.
