25 Years is Just the Beginning

Beginning a new year always puts life into perspective for me.

January is my clean slate, a great time to reflect on where I’ve been and to daydream about where I’m going. Looking back, I have learned a lot about our current steel industry as well as its history, and it is Incredible to see the progression that has taken place over the years. As we take a walk back in time, I would like to acknowledge those individuals and companies who have dedicated their personal and professional lives to shaping and molding this industry into what it is today.
