Title: What's Spray-Net and Who's Michele?

Spray-Net is a unique, custom coatings company that fills a needed niche. Her role in the business is sales and marketing, while her partner Brian takes care of production and operations.

Originally from Maine, where all of her family, including her two 20-something sons, live, Michele has an eclectic background. During her undergrad work in Boston, Michele got a full scholarship from the Army ROTC AND started an environmental group. She eventually became a 1LT and detachment commander in the National Guard.

She was offered a Captain’s slot/a company command the same year she finished her masters in education and started teaching high school English. Since she was starting her first year of teaching AND expecting her first child, she declined the promotion and stepped down to focus on those two things.

Michele taught high school English for fourteen years and published an autobiographical novel called Reaching Out from the Inside in 2007. When she was ready to leave teaching, she made an unexpected shift into Roofing Project Management, which she stayed in for ten years. She’s been on thousands of roofs and worked on hundreds of insurance claims.

When the Spray-Net opportunity came up, Michele and Brian were especially excited about the Liquid-Roof product because of the time Michele spent in the roofing industry and her mastery of kitchen table sales. Michele knows how to connect with her clients, and they appreciate her heart and service-focus.

During Michele’s presentation, since she is newer to our chapter, she will focus on what Spray-Net is, how different SN is from others in the industry, what their specialties are in both residential and commercial products, and why they are able to offer a 15-year warranty on their work.
