There have been the customer relationships that have followed me over my 30+ years in the marking industry, and others I’ve met through inquiries made to my vendor partners.

Others I have sought out recognizing the marking and traceability options in the line offer process improvements, economical efficiencies and insure traceability.

My first sale through Leading Marks was a simple rubber stamp arrangement from a company I was introduced to by a networking contact – and the contact was a financial investment advisor that recognized I could help his client. It only strengthened my commitment to be more involved in every networking opportunity my schedule would permit.

Organizations like National Tooling & Machining Association, American Foundry Society, the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business & industry, and the Young Professionals in Energy have all offered meaningful opportunities to connect with peers and prospects, allowing time to learn, to have fun, and most of all to establish a reputation for solving problems.

Some of the events allowed me to help introduce young children to the magic of manufacturing. After all, that’s what I love – seeing how things are made!

Over these last three years I have helped organizations upgrade their marking technologies: dot peen to laser marking, ink markers and stencils to handheld computer-controlled ink devices, blanket contracts for pre-printed labels, and paper reports for inspections to mobile apps extending reporting from management to customer specific access.

No matter how large or how small a project was, it is with heartfelt gratitude that I take this opportunity to say thank you for your confidence in me, and allowing me to help in your quest for a marking & traceability solution.
