His expertise, energy, and leadership skills will help us to expand the adoption of ICC’s PMG codes and advance the building safety infrastructure throughout the U.S.”  

Mark brings with him 28 years of experience in the field and a wealth of knowledge from working with both state and government agencies. Prior to joining the Code Council, Fasel was Manager of Government Affairs and Codes & Standards for North America at Viega LLC where he was responsible for Viega’s policies and objectives involving state and federal government affairs, codes, and standards to represent and protect organizational interests in the U.S. and Canada.
