What do you like to do when you’re not immersed in roof coatings?
When I'm not immersed in roof coatings, you'll find me enjoying quality time with my family. I love exploring hiking trails, relaxing on a beach, or diving into a good book, especially anything about WWII history. I'm also a bit of an 80's music trivia whiz—I dare you to challenge me!
