Our Final Act of 2024…Inducting 3 People in the Glazier Nation Hall of Fame

Inductee 1: Jesus “Zeus” Munoz
Company: Glaziers on Demand

Zeus was one of the best Glaziers in the country. He was runner-up in the first Glazier of the Year Awards in 2018. He had some really nice projects under his belt like UT Rowling Hall & Walmart Home Office for Glaziers on Demand. He started his career with DeGeorge Glass in New Orleans. He was an excellent dad, General Superintendent and overall leader. Zeus passed away in December of 2024. Zeus was a friend to many, including Glazier Nation. Jesus Munoz is the 1st Glazier to enter the HOF.

Inductee 2: Les Craft
Company: Admiral Glass

Les Craft was one heck of a guy. He went from a union glazier to owning one of the Top 5 Glass Companies in the US based in Houston, TX. The story behind his climb is simply amazing. At one point Les had over 400 Glaziers working in just one city alone. Les passed away in 2023 and will be forever missed. Les Craft leaves behind one heck of a legacy, but he also leaves behind two hard working children and a wife that is determined to make the business as great as it ever was. Les would be very proud of them.

Inductee 3: Don Friese
Company: CRL / FHC / Friese Foundation

Don Friese built a giant of a company through shear hard work. It would become a global powerhouse in our industry. Then he helped do it again with FHC. Mr. Friese is still kicking strong and will be the only living member in the HOF. Around 20 people can say they built the glass industry over the last 5,000 years, Don Friese is one of those people.

All three of these people have influenced Glazier Nation, the Glass Industry and the entire World. When the was born, nobody had a clue of the life they would live save God. They took their time on this planet and made the most of it, they also made the rest of us one Heck of a Glass Industry.

Glaze On,

Many a Year Ago…

At the top of Look-Out Mountain, we helped Glaze this beautiful building for Covenant College. While it’s not the tallest building we ever done, it sits atop of a pinnacle that makes it one of the tallest.

Every time I drive by that mountain, I’m proud of my work but I forget mountains are put in our life for a reason. I also forget they can be moved.

Tested to the Point of Failure…

In the glass business, before we begin a really big contract or introduce a new type of glazing system we have to prove that our glazing and glass systems can pass the test.

People that is about to spend millions of dollars deserve to see what type of test your workmanship and products can with stand. So they will bring in a variety of tests like this massive airplane engine. That engine is strong enough to blow that glass wall away and they can keep turning it up until the damage they want to see takes place. They want to see how far the breaking point is. They make sure to push it beyond the limits.

In life people will test us, our jobs will test us, the universe itself will test us. That’s because not only they deserve to know your breaking point, but so do you. It doesn’t matter your situation in life, YOU DECIDE YOUR BREAKING POINT.

When a fighter or athlete is said to have HEART, it means they have no give up or in. A man left untested, can’t be calling himself a man. A leader left untested, isn’t a leader just yet. A time ago I had to stop worrying about my capabilities and just focus on what’s in my heart. Bc that’s where you become capable.
