Our History
Our company's founder Rod
Strub, programmed his first computer in 1978, a Z-80 based Exidy
Sourcer, using native hex-decimal assembly code. Since that time, he
has programmed computers using language such as Basic FORTH, FORTRAN
and C. Through the years, Rod has expanded his knowledge of
computers, networking, and radio communications establishing packet
switched X.25 and TCP/IP amateur radio networks in the mid to late
1980s. In 1986, Rod joined a small Atlanta based water and wastewater
treatment systems integrator. It is there, he learned to combine his
technical computer and programming skills, into the hardware design,
build, start-up and maintenance of instrumentation and control systems
for water and wastewater treatment. Fifteen years after writing his
first program Rod started Southern Flow, Inc. in 1994. Since that
time, Southern Flow, Inc has grown into a multi-million dollar
corporation employing nearly a dozen hardware and software engineers,
with installed systems in over six southeastern states.
 In addition to being Southern Flow, Inc
founder, Rod is also a professional race car driver. Always being
intellectually curious, he very much enjoys the technical aspects of
automotive engineering and what makes a car go fast. Rod has enjoyed
many wins at both the amateur and professional level. He has
participated in races sanctioned by the SCCA, IMSA, ALMS and Grand-Am.
In 2005, Rod participated in factory race efforts with both General
Motors - Chevrolet Division in the new Cobalt SS Supercharged, and
Panoz Auto Development in the Esperante GTS.
Rod Strub is married, has one step-son
and currently resides in Canton, Georgia, just minutes away from our
Alpharetta based headquarters.
