I started in the industry selling packaging and construction tapes for Shurtape Technologies in California in 2002. It was at Shurtape where I developed a passion for finding the right material to make my customers’ projects function. I followed that with a move to Adchem Engineered Tapes, where I was able to specialize in a more technical sale and further my knowledge of the fabrication industry. I would eventually go out on my own as a materials consultant and provider, selling for DermaMed Medical Adhesives, Adchem, Berry Plastics, and others. It was in this function that I met the owners of Rubber Resource, and after spending several months learning from them, I purchased the company in May 2021.
