Kyle Thompson has been named technical director of Plumbing Manufacturers International (PMI). Thompson will find and pay attention to legislation and codes that are in development for manufacturers, and to report those developments to the PMI membership.
“If I have built the relationship the right way, which I’m looking forward to doing, and members have information to contribute, I can share it with the entire membership,” he explained. “I see it as an exchange — looking for information from our members that is important to them and appreciating their letting me know when they find out about things. If it’s important to an individual member, it’s highly likely that it’s important to everybody in the PMI organization.”
Thompson comes from PMI member IAPMO, where he spent more than 10 years working as a standards development engineer. During this time, he often participated in PMI’s Tech Talk and other PMI technical committee initiatives.
Before joining IAPMO, Thompson worked for a solar design and installation company while working on his degree in mechanical engineering from California State Polytechnic University at Pomona.
