Tim Dyste is getting settled after moving back to Midland from China to fill a role his father had decades earlier managing Dow Corning's Midland Site. "Somebody said to me being a site manager of a site like this is sort of like being the mayor of a city," Dyste said. "I think it is somewhat that way because there's a lot of different things you're dealing with." In a recent week he checked the safety of processes at the site, advocated for capital projects, promoted employees and helped with United Way fundraising.
