About David Humphreys & family

David Humphreys is an heir to the Galena, Kansas-based Tamko roofing fortune.

His grandfather E. L. Craig started the company in 1944 at the age of 69 in an old streetcar barn in Joplin, Missouri.

Today, Tamko is the fourth-largest manufacturer of roofing shingles in the United States. The company recorded $1.2 billion in 2023 revenue.

David took over as president and CEO of Tamko in 1994 after his father's death; he and his wife Debra both serve on Tamko's board of directors.

The Humphreys family sold a 25% stake in the business to the Carlyle Group, a $447 billion (assets under management) private equity firm, for an undisclosed sum in 2019.

David and his sister Sarah, and their respective families, split the remaining 75%.
