I have worked in the pipeline industry since graduating in 1980 with a Civil Engineering degree from the University of Waterloo. During my first 18 years in the industry I worked as a design engineer and project manager on some of the largest diameter pipeline projects in North America. During these years, I saw a need for a better way to control pipeline buoyancy and developed and patented the first set-on, gravel filled geotextile pipeline weight. PipeSak® Incorporated was formed to design, build and market pipeline protection products for the pipeline construction industry.

As the President and CEO of PipeSak® Pipeline Products I strive to revolutionize the pipeline industry with innovative, pipeline protection/integrity products.

I am married with 5 children – three of which work ‘in the business’.

I joined PipeSak back in 2002 when our ‘head office’ was still a room in my father’s basement. Since then we have grown PipeSak® from a small family business to an internationally recognized innovator in the pipeline stability, support and protection market. As we continue to grow we have maintained our family business culture, expanding from the Connors family to the PipeSak® family.

As President I oversee the general operations of the company including finance, manufacturing and marketing. I have degree in Business Purchasing and an Executive MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business.

When not at work I enjoy hosting family gatherings and spending time with my two crazy boys, Connor and Keagan.

I grew up in the pipeline industry, so it was only fitting that my career started as an inspector for Union Gas. While at Union Gas I worked my way through several positions both in the field and in the office. In 1998 I was hired by my father and became PipeSak®’s first employee; a labourer.
I am currently V.P. of Field Services for PipeSak® Inc. and oversee all aspects of field operations as well as project estimating. I bring a wealth of knowledge, having experience in everything from R&D and equipment operation to estimating.
When not out on a job you can likely find me somewhere in the back country or at home with my partner Kim, dog Carl and Jimi the cat.

I joined my family and the PipeSak® team in September 2014 as logistics manager after returning home to Ontario from six years living and working in Vancouver, B.C. I bring years of experience in asset and operations management in the aviation security industry to support our customer service and sales management here at PipeSak®.

In my spare time, I enjoy baseball, snowboarding and spending time with my wife Jennifer and 2 kids.

I joined PipeSak® Inc. and PipeSak® USA in 2009. When I’m not golfing, trout fishing or bird hunting, I co-ordinate the sales and global marketing efforts for PipeSak®. I previously worked for Caterpillar Tractor Company in Peoria, Illinois before moving to St. Louis, Missouri to work for Greenstreak Inc. for 23 years in manufacturing supervision and production management. In 1998, I was made director of Greenstreak’s Tuff-N-Nuff Rockshield division until I came to PipeSak.

My wife Donna and I have been married for over 40 years and reside in St. Louis, Missouri. We have two daughters and five grandchildren.

Jim joined PipeSak® USA in 2023. You can find him in the field, on the right-of-way and at various industry networking events. Jim is based in Texas and looks after our American clients.

I joined PipeSak Inc in 2014 and continue to support our Customers and Sales team. My career has involved both sales and service for varied industrial manufacturers and software developers. My current responsibilities at PipeSak® include cultivating and developing relationships in new and existing markets segments.

Outside of work I have two adult children, leaving me time for involvement in community-based programs, such as planting trees to enhance the local urban forest.

As the Marketing Manager at PipeSak®, I maintain brand consistency through graphic design, web analytics, event planning, and multichannel advertising. I am passionate about data collection, testing new things, and always looking for ways to improve.

I come from a mixed sales and marketing background working in credit, chemical, and home service industries where I acquired my combined people-person and creative skillset.

When not at work, I am often hosting friends, spending quality time with family, hiking with my fiance, and challenging my mindset through reading.

Victoria is a dedicated customer service representative at PipeSak®, where she plays a key role in supporting the sales team with quotes and data entry. With a background in business marketing, she brings a versatile skill set to her work, backed by extensive experience in office administration and customer service. Outside of her professional life, you will find her at the bookstore, capturing moments through photography, and hiking with her two dogs.

I joined PipeSak® Inc. in 2008 after returning home to Ontario from 5 years in Alberta, Canada. My extensive office management and accounting experience is from a wide range of industries including government, boating, poultry veterinarians, the pork industry and security companies.

I started out looking after administrative services and customer accounts. I am now responsible for all A/P, A/R, payroll and several other financial areas with PipeSak® filling projects and the company in general.

When not at work I enjoy reading, interior design and travel. I have 2 rescued dogs and when time permits I also love fostering dogs, helping them become confident and adoptable.

I started with PipeSak® in 2021 after working in collections in a law office and other previous companies. Some of my current responsibilities at PipeSak® include answering incoming calls, booking travel accommodations for the sales team, assisting the accounting team, and maintaining a healthy office environment. When not at work, I enjoy spending my time next to the soccer field or volleyball court cheering on my kids, reading a book or walking my two Rottweiler’s.

I began my time at PipeSak® in May of 2019 for an engineering internship, and since joined as a full-time EIT. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to gain exposure to the pipeline industry as well as an in-depth understanding PipeSak® products and their place in the field.

On the engineering team, we focus on continually advancing current products, and developing new products which provide ever-improving utility and safety to the pipeline construction industry. Innovation and creativity are at the forefront of our design process, which contribute to the cutting-edge solutions PipeSak® is known for.

When not in the field or in the office, I enjoy exploring Canada’s great outdoors, fiddling around with cars, and spending time with family and friends.

I’m currently a Mechanical Engineering Intern at PipeSak®, having begun my internship in May of 2023. With a foundational education from Western University, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with our engineering team where I focus on testing and developing new products. Beyond my engineering work, I often find myself outdoors, embracing nature, and keeping active.
