Immediately after Mike refinished his first tub he saw the opportunity the business offered. He built a business, hired and trained all of his own technicians and the company was very successful.

In 1998 Mike was lured away from entrepreneurship to become the Director of Training and Technical Support for a major U.S. refinishing franchise. During that time Mike trained many franchise refinishers from around the country and the world.

Mike also fielded technical calls from the company's franchisees. Business owners called Mike with questions from the field. They were in a difficult situation and needed expert advice. Mike knew the answers and helped them successfully get the job done.

In 2000 Mike had a vision of a company that would provide top quality training at an affordable price. Mike joined forces with the folks at NAPCO, the recognized leader in quality refinishing supplies and materials.

Mike is currently the Operations Manager for NAPCO. He does product-testing, quality control, and fields the technical calls from both independent and franchise refinishers. Ameriglaze, Inc. is the training arm of NAPCO, Ltd.
