As part of the pressure washing industry, we feel that there are many benefits to being part of CETA and especially serving on the Board of Directors. I hope to continue to learn about the industry; network with other manufacturers, distributors, and customers; and stay aware of industry trends/changes.

I enjoy the challenge of problem solving, whether we are developing a new solution to help our customer’s cleaning problems, finding a solution to a design challenge, or working together as a team to keep our product development projects on schedule. I find satisfaction in discovering unique solutions to many of the problems that we all face.

What do you enjoy doing during your free time?

I have two daughters who are heavily involved with competitive dance. Most days, my wife and I are either at a dance competition or driving them to and from a dance class. At home, I enjoy woodworking and home improvement projects.
