After 17 years of leadership at ABC Supply and nearly 40 years in the building materials industry, Midwest Region vice president Joe Small will retire at the end of this year. Effective January 1, 2027, Brad Messer will succeed him as our next Midwest Region vice president.
Under Joe’s leadership, the Midwest Region has been defined by operational excellence, associate development and a strong commitment to customer success. We’re grateful for the impact he’s made on our organization and the many associates and customers he’s supported along the way.
Brad has 21 years of experience at ABC Supply, starting in sales at our La Salle, Illinois, location and advancing through branch and district management roles. Most recently, he’s led the implementation of ABC Supply’s new CRM platform at our National Support Center. Having spent his entire career in the Midwest, Brad looks forward to building on the region’s accomplishments and carrying forward Joe’s strong commitment to customer success.
🤝 Thank you, Joe, and congratulations, Brad!
