I am the owner and operator of a fireproofing and specialty coatings contracting firm. I represent the fifth generation of my family in the painting business. My earliest contracting experience was primarily as an industrial painting contractor, which is where I was first introduced to spray fireproofing. One of the many specialties we performed was the use of intumescent fireproof coatings in industrial complexes such as power plants, sewage treatment plants, and pharmaceutical and semiconductor plants. I always had a strong interest in this part of my family's business and today I find my company totally immersed in the fireproofing world.
