About Steven Ward

CEO of Water Innovations for 20-years, leading an experienced highly-skilled team "Building Our Best System Ever - Every time!" Approaching 60, married to partner and WI President Erica for 34.years, our 1st grandson is 2, a little grand-daughter is nearly here! This was supposed to be year 3 of 5 reducing 10-hours a week from the 70 I've worked many years to 20 that I hope to continue the rest of my life. I jumped with both feet in '24 when Mexico was projected to grow 20% a-year from the world's 5th to 2nd largest aerospace in addition to automotive metal-finishing and Plating on Plastics (POP) that are ideal candidates for WI-RIX DI water systems. Although I didn't imagine the sh*t-show that is the US tearing down the last 80-years international trade regime that's benefited us greatly as the #1 economy. Thankfully, Water Innovations has partnered with Crukel Water & Chemicals as WIRIXMX S.A. de C.V. based in Queretaro, matching our expertise with their outstanding team throughout the Bajio & beyond. I love Queretaro as capital of the State I call “Mexico’s California” with their shared focus on sustainable economic growth. I'll shuttle back & forth every couple weeks, handing WI's day-to-day operations off to our capable team. Looks like my book on industrial water recycling interspersed with a lifetime of water photos will have to wait.
