From the Fabricator! S6E8 Randy Brooks (Gardner/Walker) Jared Ruggieri (Spectrum Metal Finishing)

For the holiday weekend, a new episode of the “From the Fabricator” podcast is ready for you.  Guest numbers 219 and 220. I kick it off with Randy Brooks, President & CEO of Gardner Glass/Walker Glass.  Randy is the genuine article, and it was fun to catch up with a guy I first ran into in this industry 30+ years ago.  We hit on a ton of subjects, including bringing two great companies together, expansions, products, and more.  Then I had a great time with Jared Ruggieri, National Sales Manager at Spectrum Metal Finishing.  Cool career he’s had and now doing great things on the coating side.  Great perspectives on several items (real backlog vs paper backlog, among others), and he shares my appreciation for powder coating!  I continue to enjoy bringing different voices to the forefront, and these two deliver.  Plus, with the growth in the audio audience, I think this model is working!  Thank you to all who continue to support this effort!  I appreciate it!Thank you to FHC Frameless Hardware Company for their ongoing support of the From the Fabricator podcast!Still the fastest railing system in the game.Still the “Best Innovation for Installers”, per Glass MagazineStill the best railing solution.FHC ACHIEVE Frameless Glass Railing delivers safety and smiles, consistently.Visit FHC-USA.com  and shoutout to the railing guru Jose Quinones.From the Fabricator- #Glass and #Glazing hosted by Max Perilstein, Managing Partner of Sole Source Consultants.  Connect with Max on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/max-perilstein-409ba111/
