I started working with Don Metz, Terry Edwards and Bill Barney in March of 1996. If someone had told me twenty years ago I would be working in the dock safety equipment business I would have told them they were crazy! I can honestly say it’s hard to get excited about dock safety equipment... So what is it, what makes my day?

It’s the people and in any business you can still sum it up with what makes a job fun, what makes a person want to get up every day and go off to work day after day… it’s the people!
