At first sight, this card appears to be just a laminated piece of paper, flimsy and easily tossed aside. But for Executive Vice President, Dick Pehrson, this card represents decades of dedication to the wastewater treatment industry.

Dick began his journey in wastewater out of college as an applications engineer for a company specializing in valves. His resume is decorated with positions in product and market development, consulting, sales and executive level management.  He has numerous publications and has given many presentations at state and national conferences. In addition to these accomplishments, Dick also holds several patents.

With his extensive experience, Dick, along with Entex President Wayne Flournoy, saw the need for a company offering both fixed and moving media systems with the ability to evaluate and offer the optimal solution to client’s needs. This entrepreneurial endeavor has been a thrilling experience for Dick who says, “Entex has given me the opportunity to know the challenges and rewards to starting and developing a new company. We have been successful in getting the best people and giving clients the best solutions.”

For someone who has worked so hard for so long, you would think he is dreaming of a restful retirement in the near future. When asked about retirement, Dick simply says, “Who says I am going to retire?” We at Entex are certainly happy to hear that and are proud to have Dick as one of our talented minds at Entex. Here’s to hoping every year after this 35th is just as successful for Dick!
