Please join us for our April meeting on Thursday, April 16th, at the Table Mountain Inn in Golden. Our guest presenter will be Mr. Mike Sheahan, President and CEO of Front Range Aggregates.

His presentation will provide a summary of the aggregate industry. The intent is to afford the audience an increased understanding of the aggregate industry and some justification for its existence. It will include a brief history of construction materials, the current demand for aggregate, a look at mining, production, and mine reclamation.

Working in the construction materials industry since 1978, Michael started his career driving a truck for a family owned aggregate, asphalt, concrete and construction company in northern Colorado.  From truck driver to company president/CEO, Michael has served in a multitude of positions and responsibilities in sales, operations, technical and senior management. For over 35 years Michael has been in the construction materials industry in Colorado, Wyoming, Missouri, New Mexico and New York and employed by a variety of global companies.

Currently Michael is the President/CEO of a young, privately held company, Front Range Aggregates. Purchased in 2003, Front Range Aggregates is the only company in Colorado currently shipping the majority of its product by rail.  In tandem with its sister company Rock and Rail Railroad, Front Range Aggregates ships from its rail served quarry just west of Canon City, Colorado to locations along the Colorado Front Range as well as destinations in Kansas and points east.

Michael is a Foundation Board member of the Society of Metallurgical Mining and Exploration. He also serves on the Board of the Colorado Stone Sand and Gravel Association.  Michael previously served as Chairman of the National Stone Sand and Gravel Association’s Operation Division, Foundation Board member of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Chair of the Society of Mining, Minerals and Exploration (SME) Minerals Education Coalition (MEC).
