Michael F. Shirk
CEO
The High Cos.
Mike Shirk has been CEO of The High Cos. since January 2015, responsible for strengthening the family of 11 diverse companies and developing strategies and talent that will provide a bright future. He joined High from Armstrong World Industries Inc., where he was vice president of architectural specialties worldwide and directly responsible for managing sales, engineering and manufacturing operations in North America, Europe and Asia.
In a previous Power List profile, he had this advice for those looking to enter his field: “First, be highly coachable, with a genuine thirst for learning and constructive feedback to help you grow. Second, be willing to stretch yourself; investments early in your career can pay dividends later. Both of these will help you succeed.”
Shirk said he enjoys “pretty much any activity on the water … fishing, boating, crabbing, or just jumping in the waves with the kids.”
