Todd Fry, Chief Accounting Officer and Treasurer at Installed Building Products, appeared on the Rigby Campfire Podcast in August 2025, where he discussed his passion for hunting in Africa and his interest in fine firearms. Fry stated that Africa spurred him to learn more about collecting bespoke firearms, and he described his preference for working rifles over highly engraved pieces, saying, "Even though these are fine beautiful London bests, I'm a man that they're still working rifles for me." He also reflected on his early business career, noting that he started his first companies at age 26 and recalled a bank CEO telling him, "Todd, until you're 30 days late, don't call me anymore." Fry emphasized the importance of listening to customers, stating, "If you're not going to listen to your customers, then what's the point of getting out of bed in the morning?" In earlier appearances from 2018 and 2019, Fry, then serving as director of environmental services at Dock Woods, hosted "Tool Time with Todd" episodes detailing renovation projects at the retirement community. He provided updates on phased construction, including new carpeting, lighting, and furnishings in common areas, a new restaurant with a cooking experience for residents, and a chapel with LED lighting. Fry noted that contractors salvaged a plant wall and that residents were using Fisher Auditorium as a dining room during construction. He described the project's progress through multiple phases, with work on Oak Wood Court and resident services buildings underway.
“So far all of those that I've talked to have had a tremendous show so far. Everyone's saying that it's a real good turnout and definitely people have come with some nickels in their pocket to spend.”
“I would have to tell you that Africa is what spurred me on to learning more about collecting and acquiring true fine firearms, bespoke firearms.”
“The most important thing for me as I was able to finally start going around the globe... a new goal became apparent when I have three beautiful children with my wife Sherry — someday I'm going to want them to travel this too. It drove me to even be more successful to find a way that the family could start... going with...”
“The company should be, it's like your children, your family should be first in your life. Your company has to be first. And with that, the customer should then be of high priority.”
“I like to always try to be at the top and upper level of whatever industry we're in, but I also like to understand the firearms enough to know why is it worth what they're saying it's worth and does that really mean that it's worth it to me?”
“When your idea came out of, hey, we're going to start giving a report showing the actual photos, progress photos, descriptions, keeping us in line with where we are... it helped bring me back into the project.”
“If you're not going to listen to your customers, then what's the point of getting out of bed in the morning and doing this? Our job ultimately is to build beautiful guns for our customers.”
“I started my first companies at 26 years old. I was that guy that everyone said was going to fail — borrowing money from the bank and being in trouble... calling the CEO of the bank who was a friend of mine and begging him to let me be three days late and having him say, 'Todd, until you're 30 days late, don't call me...”
“Even though these are fine beautiful London bests, I'm a man that they're still working rifles for me — I want them in the bush, I want to hunt with them — and the thought of doing the engraving and all that took away from what would I have done if I had been in that era.”
“My wife and I started out in a one-bedroom apartment... we had a daughter first, McKenzie, then Tise Kayla came along. I actually delivered her at home on the bed because my wife and I couldn't get to the hospital in time.”
“We're very excited to be able to show you the next phase of construction renovations here going on at doc woods, starting here with the Welcome Center Lobby — our new reception desk with a new logo behind is a focal point for all visitors and residents coming into our community.”
“We've entered into Conference Room A and we're proud to show off our new audio-visual equipment in this conference room along with the new furnishings.”
“We're really proud of the new layout for the gift shop — the sales counter and all the displays — and we've replaced the lighting, the flooring and the finishes, so please enjoy the shopping.”
“Welcome to our new restaurant — the dining experience starts with being part of the cooking experience; residents can actually see their food being cooked in front of them, not only see but smell and watch the whole experience from the comfort of their tables.”
“Seating starts with farm table seating for 12 around a very large table for a wonderful experience, and our banquette seating offers intimate dining for two or flexible group settings when combined.”
