Biography
Sarah Humphreys Atkins is an heiress to the Galena, Kansas-based Tamko roofing fortune.
Her 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.
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.
Sarah and her brother David, and their respective families, split the remaining 75%.
Atkins is married to SEC commissioner Paul Atkins. Both she and Atkins are on Tamko's board of directors.
