Information Overload
We had the opportunity to attend the FABTECH Conference this past fall. Let me rephrase that; we had the opportunity to “hike” the FABTECH Conference. After day 1 we turned on our step counters and recorded about 8 miles of booth to booth, talking, learning, networking, business card giving/taking, and swag hauling. 8 MILES!!!

Customer Appreciation Week
“A customer is the most important visitor on our premises, he is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work, he is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business, he is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by [...]
Go Green by Recycling your Waste Powder Coating
I bet you don’t know many 8 year olds that own a Harley……. You still don’t, but as an 8 year old I was the owner of a matte black bomber of a bmx bike that was lovingly nicknamed “The Harley”. The two main reasons for this name were due to the ridiculous weight of the thing and [...]
