After graduating from Arizona State University with a degree in Marketing I went to work for TRU TEAM the largest US insulation installer. I spent 6 years at TRU TEAM and ended my career there running a commercial union insulation shop in Minneapolis MN that ran 5 spray foam riggs every day as well as being a 3M certified Fire Stop Contractor. I relocated with my family to the East Coast. I started with Demilec in 2009 (12 years ago) as a foam salesman covering Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee. My current role within the company is US Director of Commercial Development. In this role I advise and consult with Architects on the appropriate uses of spray foam in any and all projects.
