In July of 2026, Lawrence Wasik stepped into the role of Rival Insulation’s Superintendent. Lawrence brings 26 years of construction leadership experience to the position, having spent the last two decades as a Journeyman Insulator with Heat & Frost Insulators Local 25. He joined Rival Insulation in September 2023, coordinating field projects, supervising crews, and interpreting blueprints to keep jobs on schedule and within budget.

Before Rival, Lawrence spent nearly 18 years performing and overseeing industrial insulation work at the University of Michigan’s Central Power Plant, including asbestos abatement as a State of Michigan licensed worker. He got his start in the trade through an apprenticeship with R.L. Bondy Insulation. Interestingly, his path into construction followed an earlier career in banking, where he managed a branch and led a team in consumer lending — experience that still shows in how he leads people on the job site today.

Lawrence has continued investing in his own development, earning a Blueprint Reading and Construction Estimating certificate from Central Michigan University and completing leadership training through MCA Detroit.
