Tom Mullen worked for his fathers underground utility company in Brick, NJ from 1991 to 2001 starting as a pipe laborer and working his way up to foreman. In 2001, Tom joined Renaissance Properties Developers in Old Bridge, NJ as Vice President of Site Development. He worked on projects from their planning stage through scheduling, budgeting all trades involving site construction, until and including bond release for both residential and commercial building projects.

He helped create and manage maintenance and security divisions for Iplay America. In 2012, Tom saw a huge opportunity to back to what he loved and purchased North American Pipeline from his fathers friend Fred Choppy, who was looking to retire and had three employees at the time with $750,000 in gross sales. At the time, his present employer became his investing partner and helped purchase NAP. Since then, NAP has grown to be one of the largest pipe rehabilitation contractors in the tri-state area and now averages gross sales of nearly $15 million per year with over 55 employees.
