>> What I love most about what I'm doing now is the ability to actually make --
build something of value that's going to last for the long term.
Right now we are in the process of building a new manufacturing plant in Philisburg.
And being able to set the stage for a company that should be here for 20, 30,
40 years is just -- there's a lot of energy
in building something that you think is going to stay.
And putting together a 40 year plan, you know, and thinking out that far gives you a lot
of advantages just to see kind of what you want to invest now for the future.
And so I love developing things that have value.
The hardest part is the constant decisions that need to be made every day all the time.
You know it's just in the position of president or CEO or any leadership position,
I mean your role is really to help drive the organization forward which a lot
of times involve a lot of different decisions.
And that can be mentally taxing.
You can, you know, try to figure out exactly what the primary --
the problem of the day is and so you're trying to decide on all those things but weighing all
of the data in front of you deciding which is the most important
and then making right decisions on those is probably the hardest.
I think also mentally managing concerns of failure versus desire to invest in the future.
You know you never know what's going to happen and so you're always kind of weighing risks
and trying to mitigate risk but also trying to stay agile and move the company forward.
