Mr. White’s expertise spans a wide range of diving operations, from inland commercial diving and marine construction to specialized underwater coatings programs.

Under his visionary guidance, the division experienced remarkable growth, expanded its service area, and solidified its position as a premier commercial diving company in the region.

Further strategic acquisitions of Seaview Diving Contractors (Green Bay, WI), Seabrex Marine Inc. (Stevensville, MI), and Great Lakes Diving Co. (Grand Rapids, MI) strengthened the division’s capabilities and market reach, making it the largest commercial diving company in the Midwest Region.
As Vice President of the Midwest Region, a position held since 2022, Mr. White continues to drive the division’s success through his dedication to operational excellence, workplace safety, customer satisfaction, and employee development.
