  • 3D Printing and Roto

    I just returned from a Rotomolding meeting in which there was a very interesting presentation on “Additive Manufacturing”.  It turns out there are 7 different techniques for applying what is now called Additive Manufacturing one of which is 3D printing.  You may have noticed that 3D printing is getting a lot of attention these days.…

  • A Cure for the Fragmented Rotomolding Meeting Blues

    I have been reflecting on my 24 years in the rotational molding industry and how much I have accomplished as a husband, a father, a business owner, a mentor, a teacher, a professional, or just a friend.

  • Spring ‘Zapp’ing

    The spring is supposed to be the opportune time to refresh everything after a cold, hard, long winter… especially if you reside in the Midwest in 2014!

  • Boot Camp

    Over the course of this long winter, I have been skating five or six times a week while coaching hockey and I’ve been going to the gym at various times to work out. Using the scale as the indicator of my progress, I thought I was really working out. No such luck. A friend mentioned…

    I used to think that I had a love/hate relationship with email. But lately, I’ve simplified my Outlook: I just hate email. I hate how email has tricked me into thinking it’s always the most efficient mode of communication. It’s usually not until I’m 15 emails deep in a discussion about, say, the shape of…

  • What Happens in Vegas…

    I fished on 34″ of ice yesterday, and the daytime high tomorrow is –18F (wind chill included).  ARM’s Spring Executive Forum in Las Vegas can’t get here fast enough for me.
