TESTIMONIAL
“Don, Dustin, Shane,
Wow. 40 years! I wanted to say congratulations to all of you for absolutely killing it as a full service E & I shop. And not only for your success, but for being somewhere a shit head from the west coast with terrible work ethic could learn how to be a good employee, a hard worker, a real-life tradesman, a successful teacher and really a part of the family.
Working for you all changed my outlook on what a “job” is. I truly feel I ended up with a real life career that I was proud of, and was excited to go too nearly everyday. I know a lot of tradesmen that work for other companies that will never get it.
I lived in ‘John for nearly 14 years, and I spent most of those either working directly, or in-directly for you. That’s almost half my working life.
So thanks. Thank you for your patience, tough love, and lean-into-the-wind style of business management.
I want to wish you all continued success with Epscan, and all of your satellite projects and businesses. Keep making tough, well trained men and women.
All the best.”
