Experience

1. Chief Executive Officer, President, Board Chairman

   Zirconia Inc

   Sep 2016 — Present · Seattle, WA, US

   Zirconia manufactures ceramic surface treatments that are like cold poured ceramic - no kiln needed. They stop corrosion on concrete, steel and galvanized steel permanently and at low cost. This technology lowers the cost of construction, while increasing the lifespan dramatically, as well as eliminating the downside economic cost of maintenance and repair. Our product pipeline has other products like our heat reflective coating, that reflects most infrared off buildings, 99% SRI. Our technology is the only technology to stop corrosion on inorganic surfaces permanently, making sustainable global infrastructure a real possibility.
