The loss of Sean DeMartino is devastating to the industry, our Rinker Family, and the entire Gator Nation.

Sean was an active executive committee member of the industry advisory board at the Rinker School. Sean‘s impact on the industry and the school are immeasurable. Over the years, his passion and energy for the school, for the industry and for the Gators was unparalleled. He was a one of a kind. His love for people was reflected in his every interaction. While at the same time, he took everything on with tenacity and persistence.

We are saddened by his death and we must rally to carry his flag forward as we continue to support the greatest industry known to man and the profession that Sean loved so deeply.

- Dr. Robert F. Cox, Director, M.E. Rinker Sr., School of Construction Management

Our team contributed to multiple sessions, shared research findings, and engaged in valuable networking with colleagues from around the world.
