155 Pinks and Blues: Questions just for Trace

Published: Sept. 11, 2020, 5 a.m.

I have been a water Treater for over 25 years. And there is no doubt about it; I love my job. I get private tours of facilities that make products I use regularly. I have great relationships with my customers that have turned into friendships. I have met some outstanding fellow Water Treaters, some of which have become my best friends. And many other unexpected benefits for being in the Industrial Water Treatment Industry. Hands down, the most surprising is becoming the host of the podcast the serves our industry.\xa0\xa0

One of the segments we do that makes the show so popular is we give our listeners a voice.\xa0 Sometimes they leave questions on a form, and sometimes they use their voice.\xa0 Question and answer shows receive the most comments. And that is what today\u2019s show is.\xa0\xa0

I tend to answer technical questions on the show, making this so a bit different. Today, it is all about personal items people want to know about me. You asked for it, and I\u2019m going to answer it.\xa0 So here it is.\xa0
