A Little About Me
I’ve lived in the Valley for 71 years. I graduated from Campbell HS 1968 & Ohio State University 1972. I started Corcon Inc, an industrial painting company, in 1976 working mostly on the East Coast on major Bridges; Verrazano, Walt Whitman, Ben Franklin, & others. I co-founded Advanced Recycling Systems, a company that specializes in manufacturing surface preparation equipment, in 1992. I co-produced a Painting Documentary called Bridge Brothers. I’ve chaired numerous national committees that involved infrastructure. I’ve written articles in trade journals & spoke at national conferences concerning the coating & corrosion industry. Currently, I am the proud co-owner of Penguin City Beer in downtown Youngstown.
