Plumbing & hardware specialist advances the DPH channel
Gary Erickson’s goal, apart from running his California-based company, is to advance the business and professional interests of the decorative plumbing and hardware channel, a critical design and specifying niche in the residential construction market.
Erickson is fulfilling that goal through a track record of service to the Decorative Plumbing & Hardware Association, a 300-member trade organization of independent dealers, suppliers, manufacturers’ reps and other key players in the decorative plumbing and hardware industry.
Erickson, who began his career in 1987 at Snyder Diamond, a major kitchen and bath presence in southern California, is a partner and vice president of Renaissance Design Studio. The company’s pair of luxury showrooms serve the Los Angeles market with a comprehensive collection of products – including architectural hardware, designer plumbing fixtures, handcrafted doors, stairs and custom millwork – and an equally wide range of services, from millwork design and installation to construction and project consultation.
Long active in the DPHA, Erickson has been honored by DPHA for his company’s showroom, and as “Showroom Professional of the Year.” His installation this month for a two-year term as DPHA president epitomizes the kind of volunteer leadership that trade associations rely upon to operate and thrive.
