The award is presented each year to the person who has made significant contributions to the growth and success of the TechHome industry.

"I am honored and humbled to receive this award," said Rodarte. "I accept it on behalf of all of my co-volunteers, whose passion for this industry is unwavering, awe-inspiring and making a real difference.
"I also proudly share it with the employees of NuVo, whose dedication and commitment to this business allowed our company to rapidly grow in the midst of a soft growth rate for the industry overall in 2007."
Rodarte also serves on the Board of Directors for Sherry Laboratories, a third-party independent laboratory for environmental testing.
