This experience allowed him an opportunity to learn the basic processing procedures to meet the customer’s requirements. The time JR applied to this beginning allowed him to understand the importance of quality control, grinding, sawing, drilling and other processes required in his new business adventure. JR entered the administrative sector and completely engaged himself into the many areas required in marketing, sales management, quality control procedures and cost controls. Following in his father’s footsteps, he familiarized himself to the complex methods of specialty steel and forging production. Using computer technology, JR helped develop advertising material and marketing systems that allowed his company to sell their products throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.
