Get to know Chris
My time at the IWRC started with the Painter Training program. From curriculum development, technology advancement, and hands-on training, I have am well-versed in all aspects of painter training. I spend a lot of the time on the road visiting our training sites, but I look forward to welcoming a class or business to our local painter training facility in Cedar Falls, IA. If your looking to enhance your business' painter training operations, look no further!

Get to know Mark
I spent over 20 years at a painting technician before joining the Iowa Waste Reduction Center. My favorite part is working closely with military personnel and visiting military sites where I get to build relationships with the troops and may my experience forward. If your looking to enhance the skills of our painters, either industrial, automotive or military, lean on me as I can provide perspective on both sides of the spray gun.

Get to know Ben
As the newest member of the Painter Training program at the IWRC, I get to help training industrial and military painters in painting preparation, application, and safety through our STAR4D curriculum. Ensuring that a painter workforce, be it military or industrial, has the knowledge and skills needed to perform at their best AND show them how to reduce their environmental impact makes my work incredibly rewarding. If you’re in need of refreshing your painter training skills and knowledge, I can get you connected.

Get to know Joe
I began with the IWRC over 20 years ago, starting as a student intern and now as the Director. One of my favorite projects I have ever worked on is our Painter Training program. In this program I contributed to the development of several of our Painter Training courses and two patented Virtual Reality training systems. To say I know this program like the back of my hand is an understatement. I thrive big on building partnerships and finding creative ways to solve environmental challenges. If you’ve got a project or idea that could use a fresh perspective, let's connect!
