My father taught me the skills of welding and work with an imagination and determination to make things better, faster and stronger. From a young age, I was running large industrial equipment, and even welding in our family factory along with 25 - 50 men. I was given the latitude to determine better ~more productive plant layouts, even purchasing decisions for new equipment and tools to enhance production. ~I moved equipment with forklifts and overhead bridge cranes. From this and on to many other opportunities I was blessed to work closely with my father in building a company that has produced millions of parts, systems and equipment that are in use throughout the free world and even outer space.I sold my business shares (WWW.AndersenHitches.com) to my younger brother 12 years ago and retired... (I moved away from the things I did not like to do ~replacing my time 8 years ago to work closely with 4 cousins whose integrity in business and industrial design, engineering and manufacturing is tremendous) thus my so called retirement has blessed me with the opportunity to dream and continue helping industry leaders -via Zoom, Phone- pictures, videos and travel "often with my wife", for face to face visits.
