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 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.

I joined PipeSak® USA in 2023. I previously held the role of Vice President of Technology & Business Development in Canada, where I played an integral part launching RockStop® to the market. Prior to joining the pipeline industry, I worked as Engineering Manager in the drilling sector. An engineering and geology background has allowed me to follow a global path in Oil & Gas, primarily in the North Sea, & Norway, Canada, Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa. I’m now excited to add the United States to my list!

I have a passion for travel and global cuisine, which I have been fortunate to develop alongside my career. When not at work, I’m spending time with my two high-energy kids, Madeline & Rupert; swimming or skating on the lake, attending hockey tournaments and generally trying to keep up!

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 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.

I graduated from Humber College in 2021 from the Advertising and Marketing Communications program. After completing my digital marketing internship, I joined PipeSak to start off my career assisting the sales and marketing team with social media, client quotes and sales orders, and organizing and recording data.

When not at work, I enjoy reading, music festivals and weekend road trips.

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 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 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.

As the Marketing Manager at PipeSak, I maintain brand consistency through my experience with 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 always on the go hosting friends, spending quality time with family, hiking with my fiance, and challenging my mindset through reading.

I joined PipeSak in 2023. As the Controller, I manage the corporate accounting, financial reporting, budget and forecast preparation, financial risk management, and the development of internal control policies and procedures.

I graduated from Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, NS in 2017 and then worked in public accounting for 6 years before deciding to make the change to industry. When not at work, I enjoy playing softball in the Summer, working out in my basement gym in the Winter and spending time with friends and family.

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.
