Water may be one of our state’s most important natural resources and one that is of vital importance to our business community. Fortunately, we have an annual conference each year that addresses South Carolina’s water issues that is attended by over 100 presenters, including academics, utilities, environmental law and engineering firms, and policy makers.

Mike Switzer interviews Dr. Jeff Allen, executive director of the SC Water Resources Center at Clemson University, the host organization for the 2018 SC Water Resources Conference coming to Columbia Oct. 17-18.

After almost 20 years, Mike Switzer retired from Wells Fargo Securities in 2001 as Senior Vice President/Investment Officer and Certified Portfolio Manager. In 1999, he and his wife, Maggie, purchased and operated for eight years the Baskin Robbins ice cream store on Forest Drive in Columbia. They grew the store from a bottom-tier operation in the Baskin Robbins franchise system to one in the top 5% nationwide within three years, tripling sales along the way. While operating the ice cream store, Mike and Maggie received patents for a portable ice cream sink and fold-down sneezeguard they invented and in 2002 started Magnolia Carts, an ice cream cart manufacturing company, which they sold in 2013.
