Mr. Les Dickson, the company's founder and owner, has lived and worked in Naples since 1984. He grew up in Oklahoma where he started roofing as a young boy part-time and for summer jobs. He attended Oklahoma State University where he received a B.S. degree in accounting in 1972, and afterwards worked in accounting at Arthur Young & Company (now Ernst & Young), and law enforcement with the Tulsa Police Department, before establishing Dickson Roofing in 1976.

While traveling the country with national accounts, Dickson Roofing came to Naples in 1984 for the remodeling and tower construction of the Edgewater Beach Hotel…and we never left. Mr. Dickson is a member of First Baptist Church of Naples, where he has been a teacher for over 20 years. He was a member of the Collier County Contractor Licensing Board for 20 years and their chairman for 6 years. He served as Guardian (Ad Litem) for children in the Collier County court system, and was formerly a board member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

He is also a member of the Governmental Affairs Committee where he presently serves as Co-Chairman. Mr. Dickson is married to his high school sweetheart of over 40 years, and spends most of his free time with his family of two daughters, one son-in-law, and three very special grandchildren.
