About Michael Gallagher
After years of progressively more responsible sales and marketing positions in large companies I was ready to own and run a small distributor and grow it. In 2001 my business partner and I purchased a mature company in need of growth. With changes in compensation plans, strategy and recruitment of great people we have been able to dramatically increase sales and improve income. My partner retired in 2014 and I have continued in my role as President & CEO.
