/Education News Articles/ - Boston, MA, June 24, 2008 - Construction professional Peter Feinmann of Arlington, MA was named by the North Bennet Street School as its 2008 Distinguished Alumnus of the Year during ceremonies held recently at Boston's Old North Church.

Feinmann, who runs the award-winning residential remodeling and construction firm Feinmann, Inc. in Lexington, MA graduated from the school's carpentry program in 1983.

A committee of North Bennet Street School graduates bestows the Distinguished Alumni Award each year to an alumnus who has shown outstanding achievement in his/her craft and who has advanced the body of knowledge in his/her particular trade, according to the school.

Feinmann is widely acknowledged for his efforts in bringing greater financial discipline to the construction management process, and for the overall excellence of his company's residential design and construction work. The firm was named 2008 Remodeler of the Year by the Builder's Association of Greater Boston, and received a Market Leaders Award in 2007 from Professional Remodeler Magazine.

"Through all his success, Peter has never forgotten his roots at the North Bennet Street School," said Heather Proffitt, chairperson emeritus of the school's alumni steering committee and a 2004 graduate of its preservation carpentry program. "The award recognizes not just Peter's past achievements, but also his continuing dedication to the field of residential construction."

One of the country's oldest schools for artisans, North Bennet Street School (www.nbss.org) has provided an education in craftsmanship since its founding in 1885. The nonprofit, nationally accredited school is known internationally for excellence in teaching, and for its role in promoting the preservation of traditional craftsmanship.
