It took quitting a corporate job and living in Morocco for a year for Sam Frank, co-founder of and partner at Four Twelve Roofing, to realize that his heart belonged in the city he’d grown up in.

Sam was inspired by the incredible design projects and architecture he saw in Morocco and wanted to bring that kind of beauty to Baltimore. There was just one problem: He didn’t have any experience in construction.

On this episode of Defining Moments, Sam explains how a beer and an insulation project introduced him to his co-founder Shea Frederick, what makes a sexy roof and why he’s in no rush to abandon Baltimore for larger cities.
