There is no element more vital to life on our planet than water, and the task of securing this precious resource requires creative solutions to complex challenges. For more than 30 years, I have committed myself to this assignment, disrupting the status quo by identifying market needs and developing innovative, patented solutions that are reshaping the water market and how we tackle some of the biggest water challenges of our time.From early days working the shop floor at US Filter/Westates to advancing underground infrastructure technology at UGSI, to founding and scaling Aqueous Vets and launching American Veterans Products & Services, I have combined my knowledge of equipment application, engineering principles, material science and construction management with business finesse. As a proven, sales-driven leader I have grown companies and delivered award-winning projects that improve water quality across the country. Years spent in the United States Army instilled the fundamental principles of service, discipline, and leadership that have defined my career in water. Today I continue to partner with leading consultants, solution providers and utilities to provide expertise to advance water, with an emphasis on treating contaminants of emerging concern including PFAS, 1,2,3- TCP, 1,4-dioxane processes, TOC – and whatever comes next – for our industry.
