In this Legacy interview, host Miles Beacom sits down with 2019 Inductee, Clyde Fredrickson and his wife Sharon, to discuss Clyde’s journey to becoming a national leader in the housing manufacturing industry.
Clyde Fredrickson is an inventor, businessman, community leader, and pioneer in the automation and prefabrication of construction materials. His inventions, which influenced over 80% of the truss manufacturing industry in our nation, revolutionized the home building process around the world by saving time and money for every house built with his system. Clyde’s leadership in developing infrastructure as well as the individual skills of rural residents has been critical in helping rural communities survive and thrive.
Clyde and Sharon speak about making a home in Briton South Dakota, and the challenges and joys of moving to a new community and growing Truss Pros. Today, Clyde is the Product Development Manager for a new, worldwide automation division for MiTek Industries.
