Mike Coyazo is product manager for Ruskin’s commercial and UL life safety dampers. He has been with the company for over 17 years, primarily dedicated to life safety dampers. Over the years, he has conducted numerous damper trainings for HVAC industry professionals, including working with SMACNA’s Building Inspectors Program and participating in both ICC and NFPA code hearings.
