No, not at all.
If you weren't working with All Flex, then what would you be doing?
If I weren't doing this, then I would be looking for something in sales or marketing in a related field. Or I might be fly fishing in Montana.
What is the strangest request you've ever had from a customer?
We deal with a lot of bizarre applications. One of the applications that I thought was really unusual was a company who wanted circuits customized for a lighted frisbee.
What excites you most about the future of All Flex?
Our continued involvement with the future of new technologies. For example, in the past, we were tuned into the fact that there was going to be a camera installed into a cell phone before most of the world could even comprehend the possibility of this invention.
What makes you proud of All Flex?
We internalize our customers' problems as our problems. We have created a real sensitivity to service their needs. Also, we have created an awareness of our company in the marketplace that is probably second to none in the United States. It's not easy to do. You do that over a long period of time.
