It all started with a

box of bolts.

My father was selling a box of bolts.

And then a few years later, customers wanted precision machine fasteners.

So not just the standard off the shelf, commercial off the shelf fasteners that he was selling, but also machined to specifications.

And we started doing precision machining in the 90s.

And I joined in 2007 in the quality department.

your collegiate journey, how far along was it before you made the pivot back to manufacturing? And I was curious if you went along and did the CFA or anything like that moving towards your hedge fund dreams?
