Alan BeckleyHOST
Greg, I want to start out with asking, could you share a bit of your background with our listeners? Where did you grow up and go to school? And what did you do before you became an inventor? Could you share that with our listeners?

Greg FredinGUEST
And then in grade, right after grade four, we started moving around the country every two years.

Greg FredinGUEST
So I went everywhere from Northern Ontario to Newfoundland, to Southern BC, to Southern Ontario, back to Southeastern BC, where I finally graduated.

Alan BeckleyHOST
Could you describe your welding screen invention where our listeners can visualize it and how it works? And also from your experience working as a welder, what is the problem that your welding screen solved? And why do you think maybe nobody before you came up with this had solved it? Could you speak to that?
