International Surface Fabricators Association Announces 2023 Board of Directors
The International Surface Fabricators Association (ISFA) welcomes three new members to its board of directors in 2023. Fabricators Mike Henry, ASST, and Mike Schott, Onslow Stoneworks, will serve as directors, while Associate Member Frank Sciarrino, Granite Gold, Inc. and Quote Countertops, will serve as an associate member representative.
Mike Henry has worked for ASST for nearly 25 years in almost every capacity. From fabrication to installation to estimating to business development, Mike knows our industry from firsthand experience. Currently serving as director of estimating, Mike is responsible for demand creation for ASST. He is integral to ASST and lives and breathes the core values of being customer focused with integrity, innovation, persistence, enthusiasm and teamwork.
Mike Schott is a founder and the president of Onslow Stoneworks. He is a fourth-generation stoneworker. After his family emigrated from Guardiagrele, Italy, in the late 1800s, they operated a granite quarry on the Palisades Cliffs overlooking New York City. Since opening in 1993, Onslow Stoneworks has provided Eastern North Carolina with custom natural stone, quartz, ultra-compact and solid surface countertops.
Mike has strived to grow Onslow Stoneworks from a two-person shop to one of the largest outfits in Eastern North Carolina — now including three locations. He is passionate about excellent craftsmanship and implementing technological advancements, and he looks forward to transferring operations and ownership to his children — the next generation of Schott stoneworkers.
Frank Sciarrino is a third-generation stone fabricator with more than 20 years of experience in the stone industry. At his family’s fabrication business, Frank climbed the ranks over the years to chief estimator, operations manager, executive vice president, and eventually leading the company as president and chief operations officer. Frank’s fabrication business worked with major builders, box store retailers, kitchen and bath dealers, direct-to-consumers, and commercial work. Currently, he is the chief operations officer and managing partner of Quote Countertops and president of Granite Gold In-Home Services, the service end of the Granite Gold stone care products company.
At Quote Countertops, Frank and his team were the first to bring online quoting and checkout to the countertop industry. Frank regularly advises fabricators and marketing companies across the nation to help drive more sales through digital marketing strategy, protection plan services and technology.
“Mike, Mike and Frank are excellent additions to ISFA’s board of directors,” said Nancy Busch, executive director of ISFA. “With strong backgrounds in fabrication and proven track records with successful business growth and development, they are well positioned to lead our association and the membership in 2023.”
