As an apprentice painter under my Fathers old world German disciplines I soon became accomplished at a variety of painting techniques and processes. Using those skills and jumping into the business world at the young age of 20, I quickly became accomplished as a respected paint contracting business owner. Recognizing that this industry is constantly changing and with my thirst for knowledge I have attended many trade related classes and seminars. Along with my degree in Business Management at UIU, I have certificates from SSPC, Society For Protective Coatings, in the field of concrete coatings, planing and specifying industrial painting projects, and the fundamentals of paints and coatings. There is much more to learn and my education is an ongoing process.Specialties: High performance paints and coatings including but not limited to epoxy's, polyurethanes and polyureas. I have an ever increasing influence in the wind energy sector with the introduction of BLADESKIN a highly abrasive and impact resistant coating for wind powered turbine blades.
