President - Mike Smith

Mike worked with Crews and Associates an Investment Banking firm from 1996 – 2006. During this time Mike held a Series 7 license and 62 licenses. While at Crews and Associates Mike was responsible for underwriting millions of dollars of municipal bonds and municipal equipment leases for cities, towns and utilities. Mike spent most of his time working with water utilities while at Crews and Associates and it was during this time that Mike took advantage of that time to learn about the water meter industry. In 2006 Mike, along with two others, approached HD Supply Waterworks, a fortune five hundred company and the country’s largest water supply store to start a new division. This new division had never been tried inside HD Supply, but it would revolutionize HD Supply by bringing a turnkey solution to the industry for automatic water read products. This new division known as the National Service Group would bring the equipment, installation and financing to the customer in one offering for automatic meter read projects. While working with HD Supply from 2006 to 2012, Mike was very successful in selling millions of dollars’ worth of automatic water meter projects and was a regional sales manager for HD Supply. Also from 2006 till 2009 Mike was part owner in a meter Installation Company known as Utility Services Associates (USA) which he founded and later sold his shares. While owning USA Mike brought projects such as Plano, TX 60,000 meters, Mobile, AL 16,000 meters and many other projects which were very successful for USA. In 2011 Mike decided to start Advanced Utility Services (AUS); since starting AUS, Mike has assembled a very experienced team to insure the success of AUS. There is a combined 65 years’ experience assembled with the AUS team. With Mike’s experience of the industry AUS is poised to become one of the premier installation company’s in the country. AUS does an abundant amount of work for Sensus metering and the distribution companies for Sensus.
