At 17, Todd Schroeter shattered records as the youngest True Value Hardware owner in Stone Ridge, NY—forging a razor-sharp edge for tackling chaos with surgical precision. Fast-forward to 2003: Chlorine dioxide hit like lightning, igniting a wildfire of innovation in deodorization and disinfection.

Teaming up with Ohio State’s elite Business Technology Center, Todd unleashed the world’s first non-electric micro-reactor, flipping a government-only anthrax-buster into everyday hero tech. Undeterred by limits, he chased a chemical wizard for two grueling years, birthing three patents, one pending, and game-changing IP that supercharges his DeOdorPRO line with explosive gas yields.

As CLO2 Delivery Systems’ trailblazing force, Todd’s wizardry zaps mold, smoke, and bacterial nightmares—powering Hurricane Harvey rescues and COVID-19 cleanups from Baton Rouge’s Capitol to global hotspots. Endorsed by ServPro and Aramsco, his bombshell Mobile Manufacturing System just dropped, smashing shipping snags and supercharging industries from hospitality to healthcare. Meet the maverick rewriting tomorrow’s air—one bold breakthrough at a time.
