Michael Starratt - Founder & CEO

I’m Michael. I’m the chief around here, the man with a mission and the plan to get it done. I spend most of my days writing our technical manuals and coming up with the most efficient ways to get our products built. I’m an engineer by degree and I love designing and building new techniques and equipment especially suited to our product.

Research and Development are my strong points. I love building teams and watching our employees succeed in life. When an employee is excited about doing something for the first time such as a new home, getting married, children, or continued education it makes me extremely proud of them and our company.

In my off time you can catch me spending time with family and especially my amazing wife. We are working on bringing children into this world and cannot wait! I enjoy boating, golfing, and fishing. I enjoy basketball and even put up a basketball hoop in our company parking lot to show these younger guys who the boss is!
