OUR EXPERTS
At Work
It’s hard to know who you’re working with unless you know who you’re working with, am I right? So we’d like to introduce them to you. This way, you can get to know us better and understand who makes up our ERT family.

Brian Newman
Brian Newman decided to start Eastern Roof Technologies in December of 2011. It was the storm of March 2012 that put us on the map. After several years as an insurance agent, Brian wanted a change of pace on the other side of the insurance claims process. Always wanting to help people, Brian has used his construction management experience and business knowledge to provide a top-notch roofing restoration company to the Lake Norman community residents. Brian has lived in the area for over 20 years and has raised his children in Mooresville.

Keren’s customer service background and business management experience help to keep things running smoothly at ERT. ERT mascot Sugar keeps everyone happy in the office.

Zach Speagle
Zach joins Team ERT with almost 20 years of construction experience. This knowledge will bring confidence to homeowners when exploring the world of roofing and gutters. Zach enjoys playing golf, hiking in the mountains and family time when not working. Have you ever seen “Forged in Fire”, the show with amateur blacksmiths making knives? Well, Zach is a knife connoisseur, who enjoys collecting and learning about knives. His cats, Pebbles and Bambam (clearly a Flintstones fan) are Zach’s furbabies.

Nick Johnston
Although new to roofing Nick’s passion for helping people in the health care field carries over to the team at ERT well. He lives on a small family farm in Enochville, NC raising cows, pigs, chickens, and turkeys with his wife, Jeanette.
