Why did you join Engineered Corrosion Solutions?

Mike: “Joining the team composed of chemical engineers & FPE’s that pioneered the science of corrosion control in fire protection is truly exciting. Nitrogen based corrosion control technology has always been fun to sell and intriguing since I first heard about it. I wanted to try something different in my career and I sought out an opportunity to somehow get more involved with nitrogen solutions being a primary focus of everyday business for me.

After doing business with ECS I realized these guys were the real deal and I wanted to learn from the best. Being a part of something that is going to be industry changing and is still in its infancy is very exciting. In addition to the family feel, the great group of people working at ECS are a testament to their success and I am happy to be part of the team.”

How did you get started the fire protection industry?

Mike: I worked an assortment of different roles and positions through the years starting with warehousing and purchasing jobs; then graduating to other job functions like inside sales where I  processed orders from contractors, and then moving into operations management, and outside sales; collectively learning the business from the inside out.”
