What did you learn from your father growing up that prepared you for your leadership role at Columbia Steel? He passed away [in May], but I did have the privilege of working with him for many years. Character counted for him. All of the comments we've gotten since his passing were that he was a person of integrity, how his word was his bond.

His philosophy had always been to hire good people and let them do their job.
