 Mike Mitchell's background in industrial fluid controls has been primarily focused on valves and automated valve related businesses. 
 For complete resume visit his LinkedIn page.

Starting in the late 1970's he began his career with a manufacturers' rep firm in Southern California, Yeary & Associates, learning the engineered-valve business and doing everything from inside and outside sales to mounting actuators on quarter-turn valves, to changing valve trim.

After 12 years Mike became Western Regional Manager for Bettis Actuators and Controls. Bettis was eventually acquired by Emerson in the late 1990's.

In 2001, he became Vice President, Sales, of Dynatorque, managing the rep network, growing the manually operated  gear  business by selling to Valve Automation Centers and Valve OEM's.  Concurrently, he was also focusing on automated valve accessories such as manual overrides and developing and promoting the D-Stop Mechanical Partial Stroke Test Devices for process safety system applications.

When Dynatorque was acquired by Cameron in 2008, Mike became Product Manager for Dynatorque in Cameron's Flow Controls group and eventually was part of the Valve Automation team that reintroduced the Ledeen gas pipeline actuators to the North American market. As a member of the Gear Team he helped develop and bring to North America a low cost country manual gear operator.

Prior to leaving Cameron (now a Schlumberger Company) in May 2020, Mike spent four years supporting  PG&E and SEMPRA (SoCal Gas and SDG&E) with Cameron and Grove Trunnion Pipeline valves, Texsteam plug valves, Ledeen Actuators and other Cameron products.

Over the years Mike has presented white papers at technical forums such as Valve World in Dusseldorf, Germany, the Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Symposium at Texas A&M,  and ISA.  The Valve Manufacturer's Association honored him with both their Service and Man of the Year Awards. 

All of that to say, we are here to offer you years of valve and actuator experience and expertise to help solve your fluid control problems.
