For me, it was an adventure getting to and getting back (thank you worldwide computer outage,) but all- in-all the California Glass Association (CGA) event was awesome… so impressed with the passion and drive this group has and the potential is so clear and exciting. It was honor to attend and visit with so many great people, many of whom I hadn’t seen in years. In addition, it was amazing to run into former coworkers who continue to crush it day in and day out. Incredible people like Cathy and Mike Hartley, Wardi Bisharat, and Joe Carlos. Loved seeing you and catching up!

This week all thoughts to my friends in the Houston area after the devastation from Hurricane Beryl. There are still tons of people without power and a long road ahead for clean-up.

There are a lot of incredible folks in Houston and surrounding areas, and they’re big-time supporters of our industry. I’m hoping for all of them to hang in there and get through this quickly.

I hope everyone had a good holiday run and we’re back at it. So, the best way to get moving is with a new episode of the From the Fabricator podcast. This time out, two pretty fascinating people that bring some exciting approaches to our space. Starting out with Jason Douglas of HB Fuller. Super sharp guy, his path and skill usage are very cool and his takes on what is going on in our world were strong. Plus, the main product we discussed from HB Fuller has really taken off and become a big part of the insulating glass unit conversation.
