Protection All-Ways | Celebrating Over 2 Decades in Food Service
A message from the founder of Protection All-Ways:
When I joined Protection All-Ways as a sales representative in 2006, I knew I found the right fit for me. I had been searching for a meaningful career that would use my desire to help others and provide real support, and hadn’t found anything as rewarding as working at Protection All-Ways.
Building a Foundation in Customer Service
Protection All-Ways was founded in 2004, and by the time I joined in 2006, the company had already started establishing itself as a provider of protective equipment for the food industry and light manufacturing. From the start, I realized this role was about more than fulfilling orders. It was about listening to clients, understanding their challenges, and offering solutions that ensured their workplaces were safe and efficient.
Whether assisting small businesses or larger manufacturers, I always make it my priority to ensure each client feels understood and supported. My strengths in communication, problem-solving, and genuine desire to help solve problems allowed me to build trust with clients, helping them navigate their unique challenges. This approach didn’t just benefit them—it strengthened our business relationships and helped them maintain safer environments for their workers.
A Defining Moment: Taking Ownership in 2013
After seven years of working closely with clients and learning the business, I was presented with an opportunity to take ownership of Protection All-Ways. It was a pivotal decision, one I didn’t take lightly. By then, I had developed a deep understanding of the industry, the importance of protective equipment, and the needs of our clients.
In 2013, I made the decision to take over the company. This wasn’t just a business move—it was a chance to continue the mission I had come to believe in so strongly. I had spent years developing relationships with clients, solving their problems, and helping them protect their employees. Owning the company meant I could shape it in a way that aligned with my values of integrity, service, and responsibility.
A Clear Mission: Protecting Workers and Ensuring Safety
Running Protection All-Ways has always been about more than just selling products. I’ve seen the real consequences of inadequate safety measures. Friends of mine have been injured at work because they lacked proper protective equipment, and I’ve heard stories of serious illness caused by unsafe practices in the food industry.
These experiences are what fuel my commitment to making sure businesses have the tools they need to protect their employees. My goal isn’t just to meet compliance standards but to actively prevent injuries and protect lives. This mission shapes everything we do at Protection All-Ways, from offering high-quality gloves and aprons to helping clients understand how to use safety tools effectively.
Leading with Strengths: Integrity in Business and Family
Over the years, I’ve relied on the strengths that originally drew me to this work: problem-solving, communication, and building connections. I’ve always believed that success in business isn’t just about products; it’s about how we treat people. That mindset has helped me grow the company while staying focused on our core mission of safety and service.
As a business owner and a father, I also understand the importance of setting an example. I want my children to see that success comes from acting with integrity, treating others with respect, and making a positive impact. These values guide every decision I make at Protection All-Ways, and they are the foundation of how we operate.
