Owner/President
founded Thomas Industrial Coatings in 1991
Don began his career in industrial coatings in 1979 at Busch and Latta. In just three years, he worked his way up from an industrial painter to foreman. From 1982-1991, Don was employed by Shield Painting. He started as a painter, moving up through the ranks until he was named vice president in 1990. Eventually Don decided to go at it on his own, and in 1991, he started Thomas Industrial Coatings. He has never looked back. Don has more than 30 years of industrial and heavy commercial painting experience. He’s an active and respected member in all aspects of the coatings community and is proud to have his name on every single job we complete.
