I am the host of a podcast on C-Suite Network, called Specified (www.tatstalks.com). The Specified podcast interviews leaders who have overcome adversity, built massive organizations (zero to $100 million+) and made an impactful change in the building materials and coatings industry.

I am the co-founder and COO of a sustainable roof coating manufacturing company called Castagra (www.castagra.com). Castagra's Ecodur product is approved and
used by world-class companies and was voted top Greenvention by the entrepreneur reality show Dragon's Den.. Over the past 20 years, I have had the pleasure of launching hundreds of products and services and co-authoring the book Overcoming Inventoritis: The Silent Killer of Innovation (Forward by Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple). My speaking activities include speaking to industry groups such as the Chartered Accounts of Canada, Canadian Bar Association, The American Chamber of Commerce and The International Internet Marketing Association. I've written articles for Fast Company, Construction Today and Industry Week and have been quoted on CBS News, Global TV, CBC and in The Globe and Mail and BC Business.
