Q: How did you get into the coil coating business? A: I grew up in West Virginia and attended Virginia Polytechnic Institute. I spent five years in the U.S. Navy and served on one of the Navy's first guided missile submarines. After the service, I settled in Milwaukee with my family and worked at Faustel Corp. as a staff engineer building, selling, and servicing coating and lamination equipment for the flexible packaging and metal fields. That company decided not to pursue the metals market, so in 1969,1 started GFG Corp. with two silent partners, Evert Faulls and Gene Gaspardo (Groseclose/Faulls/Gaspardo). After one year, I bought their shares of the company.
