Our Story

With 48 years of experience as an electrician, Mike Zingaro has consistently encountered challenges in his field, driving him to seek innovative solutions. Yet, his problem-solving extends beyond his profession’s boundaries. This led to the establishment of Pick Products, dedicated to testing various ideas and products to introduce practical solutions for enhancing daily life. Should an existing product prove less than, the company commits to crafting new innovations.

Over three decades ago, Mike conceptualized his initial two products: a cereal bowl designed to prevent cereal from becoming soggy, reflecting his personal preference, and color-coded socks tailored for individuals with color blindness, catering to their specific needs and facilitating identification for family members.

Outside of his entrepreneurial pursuits, Mike shares a fulfilling family life with his wife Ellie, encompassing three children, five grandchildren, and the joyful company of four rescue cats.

Mike’s real-life experiences, including multiple hospital visits as a patient, inspired him to design The Barton, a unique hospital garment that prioritizes both modesty and mobility. Alongside this innovation, his sense of humor shines through in the creation of numerous novelty shirt designs. Additionally, recognizing the need for practical solutions beyond the healthcare sector, he developed the Print Pouch, specifically designed to safeguard large-format drawings like blueprints and maps for various professionals such as design teams, contractors, and cartographers.

These endeavors reflect Mike’s commitment to improving everyday experiences based on his own encounters, ensuring that others can benefit from enhanced solutions.
