We continue to expand our offering as the needs and desires of our customers change. Our production team provides our customers with remarkable agility. Many years ago, we adopted the principles of lean manufacturing and today operate with unprecedented speed and efficiency unparalleled in the industry.
P+P: What would people be surprised to learn about you—hobbies, special interests, etc.?
BB: About five years ago, my youngest son got interested in fishing—not an easy thing to do in Los Angeles. Needless to say, he has the whole family ‘hooked’ on it. Particularly, we have fallen in love with fly fishing. I never fully appreciated the skill, art and difficulty of the sport. Today, we enjoy it as a family. This summer, we went fly fishing on the Snake River in Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park, and it was spectacular.
