Owner’s Bio
My Story
At 16 years old I started work and began my journey in textile mills. From that day, I have continued to have a deep passion in manufacturing textile related products. Beginning my entrepreneur journey in 1970 with over 45 years with Conneaut Industries, I held various management positions and advanced through the company, eventually becoming CEO and President.
After a few years in the mills, I volunteered for military service and served for multiple years, with one year being in the Vietnam War. As a U.S. Army veteran, I like to recognize other military personnel, active and veterans, and advocate for their time served, sacrificing their lives, and fighting for our country and freedom.
Now and for the last five years, I work as a licensed real estate agent, which led me to the world of water filtration. In early 2023 while representing my seller client, I had two potential buyers exit a real estate transaction due to extremely high levels of uranium in the well water at the home. The home then required a full water filtration system to mitigate the dangerous elements in the water. Realizing a need for clean and safe drinking water for homes, this led to the start of Aqua-Tex Solutions Inc. and creating textile related string-wound water filters.
When I am not producing textile products, my family is most important to me. I enjoy spending quality time with them, whether it is on vacation, at family cookouts, or other celebrations. I enjoy working out at the gym, reading, and landscaping and I am passionate about anything that has to do with health and fitness. With my extensive professional background and experience, I continue to strive for excellence with a highly motivated attitude and remain driven everyday with a strong work ethic.
