"I think the key in
finding direction for your education is to simply be moving in
one direction and not be hesitant and be stuck in the middle." |
 
"As president of a small company, as president of a small foundry, in
other words, you really do everything from literally -- you might be found
actually cleaning the rest room from day-to-day -- and you're found in a
lot of meetings with top level customers. We manufacture products that
combat abrasion and corrosion in mining and coal fired power utility
plants. That's our specific niche. We manufacture products in urethane,
elastomer, and rubber, cast alloys, alloyed white iron, stainless steel
and thermos plastic."
