Feb 20, 2024: After almost 20 years of leading Advanced Assembly (AA) I have decided to retire and enjoy some time with friends and family, see the world. It has been a great journey starting AA from scratch, see it grow and enjoy many successes. We were acquired in May 2022 by Summit Interconnect, a large PCB Fabrication group of companies based in Irvine, California. They have been great to work with and I am confident that the future is bright for my employees and the company as a whole. It has been a privilege to lead this group of employees, making AA the best Quick Turn PCB Assembly shop in the industry. I hope to stay in touch with those I have met along the way. Final piece of advice: Take care of your employees, your customers, and the success of the business will follow. It's a business mantra I have followed for 40 years, and it has always worked! Cheers!I have always worked to improve business through Market Growth and Employee development. I opened the Oregon Group for Enterprise Rent a Car, and then began Advanced Assembly as a startup company in PCB Electronic Assembly. I now have over 108 employees in Colorado, and own 3 different partner company locations in the US. We are the #1 company in the US for the low-volume, quick turn assembly market.
