In 2006, Todd co-founded Signet North America with the simple mantra of Make it Right, Make it Relevant, Make it Unforgettable. Since it's inception, Signet North America's culture of excellence extending to every corner of it's operations has led to it becoming one of the most recognized and respected names in Hazardous Materials Emergency Response training.

Shane’s relationship with Signet began as a returning student in many of Signet North America’s earliest classes in 2006 and 2007.
