Carmichael: Larry Falls with ACP has been a member of SUCA/ NUCA for almost 30 years and when it was time for him to pass the torch representing the industry I stepped up. I have been an active member for 18 years, all of them serving on the board and committees. I never intended to be in construction but more fell into it and fell in love with it
