For over a year I have been writing about the effectiveness of the MOP Maximum Oil Pickup product. About 6 months ago I become associated with the company, coming aboard first as a consultant to assist them in recovering the company from a failed merger and helping craft a new business model and strategies for growth including a revised business plan and short and long-term strategic plans; and now as Vice President for Business Development and Innovation as well as the company spokesman. For that reason I am no longer a disinterested party - though I certainly was when I first began writing enthusiastically about the company.
