Michael Hinderliter is a Mobile Fleet washing contractor, Kitchen Exhaust Cleaner, Environmental Power Washing Specialist, and Power Wash Educator based out of Fort Worth, Texas.

Michael Hinderliter held his first pressure washing wand at the age of 12 when he began working summers and weekends for his father, Robert Hinderliter, who was president of Rahsco Cleaning Systems, now known as PowerWash.com. Michael started off repairing and building pressure washers, and by the time he was a senior in high school Michael had started his own power washing business, Steamaway Mobile Power Wash. Steamaway’s revenues paid his school tuition and living expenses while Michael earned his accounting degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. In 2010, Michael purchased Rahsco Cleaning Systems from his father and changed the name to PowerWash.com in 2011. PowerWash.com is a complete resource for power wash systems, parts, repair services, and training for professional, commercial and industrial cleaners.

In late 1992, I was a founding board member of Power Washer of North America, an nonprofit association that helps advance the power washing industry, later serving as the president from 1999 to 2000.

Board member of the NC Board of Examiners in Optometry for 30 years.

Began practice in 1987 as a salaried staff doctor (employee) for a large outpatient medical/surgical facility that, per surgical volume and gross revenues, was the second largest ophthalmological practice in the country. Annual salary $50k/yr. Had very little prospects of any percentage ownership. But learned much about how to build and run a successful practice (business) during my tenure there. It was the best (and only) financial education I ever received. Implemented many of the management principles I learned there into my own practice.

In 1989, after creating my own template for practice evaluation, I decided to go into ownership. I literally evaluated dozens of the most successful eye care practices in NC and SC and looked for common threads (business patterns, location, etc...) that each possessed. I was able to identify 3 things that linked each of these businesses. Then I set out looking for available practices to acquire that met all 3 criteria. I settled on a solo, private practice with a retiring doctor in Yadkinville, NC (pop. 3,000), a rural town just west of Winston-Salem in the foothills of the mountains. It was a relatively small practice grossing $200k/yr on routine eye care and retail optical services (glasses and contact lenses). But little medical services (glaucoma, cataracts, etc...) were offered. I paid $180k for the practice with half down and half owner financed in 1989. The practice doubled in gross revenues each of the first 3 years of ownership with almost no increase in overhead. In 20 years of ownership, both our gross and net incomes increased by no less than 13% every fiscal year. I opened a second location from scratch in a small town, that also met my criteria, in 1993. It grossed $250k in tthe first year of existence. I also hired my first associate that year when I realized that I was the limiting factor in growth. I went on to hire 7 additional associates over the 17 subsequent years. All were physician employees. When the practices were sold in 2008, they produced gross revenues of 2.5 million and 1.5 million respectively. Each sold to associates in excess of annual gross revenues.
