He has held a number of roles at the company over the last 15 years, previously serving as a senior product manager and director of industry affairs. His career in the fire safety industry spans nearly 40 years and his experience in installation, service, support, sales and engineering of fire safety products provide him with a wealth of knowledge to draw from.
