K. Bizzle
Tremco Roofing Inc.
Beachwood, OH

We are one of the world’s leading commercial roofing products manufacturer and supplier. We Have a megaton of contracts in the WNY area that I personally work with. SUNY, Erie County, City of Buffalo, Cummins Engine, Fisher Price, Lockheed Martin, Essentially every school district in Erie county and some in Niagara, and some in the Southtowns.

NOTE: The type of Roofing I am involved with is NOT RESIDENTIAL. I can put you in touch with residential, but if you have something with a “flat” roof I can help you out with maint. and repair along with total overhaul. I helped Hybrid out at their old shop a couple times.

GET ME A JOB!

Many years ago I worked in a steel drum reconditioning plant in Cleveland. We supplied drums to Tremco and they had to be “Tremco Green”, which was quite a color! Kind of a bright lime green. I painted many thousands of them. You still use that color?

I am one of 6 designers in the Baby Gear group at FP. We design products for children from birth through about 3 years old…things like high chairs, potty’s, bouncer seats, swings, etc. Stroll through Target, Babies R US, Walmart, etc. and you’ll see our work. Sorry, but I can’t do much for hookups, best I can do is 20% through the FP Toystore.

do you work with tim trapp?

This isn’t my job. I do it voluntarily. I have a license from NY called a Leashed Tracking Dog License. It allows me to use a trained dog to track wounded deer and bears. For more info go to :

I run a local automotive shop, I make the least there. I am responsible for the all facets of automotive performance in the place and responsible for the 5 others incomes and livelihood. It has its ups and downs. Always look on the brightside so that you dont carreen yourself into a bridge abutment some nights on the ride home. :slight_smile:

That name sounds familiar…I’ll have to check the employee list to see.

Edit: yep, I do work with him. The name was familiar because about a week ago I was in training for some new programs here and he helped instruct it.

I’ll bet that is tough. Do you find it difficult to get reliable, hard-working employees? I’ve discussed the economics/operational aspects of running a repair shop with a couple of friends who are familiar with that business. The large investment in tools, and the operational overhead (rent/mortgage, utilities, insurance, Worker’s Comp, etc.) make it seem like a pretty daunting propoistion to me. Almost seems like if you are a talented mechanic you’re better off working for someone else?

If you run an honest shop and make a living at it, my hat is off to you. You may well have the hardest job posted so far!

i work for toshiba :snky:

Thanks, it isnt easy fo sho.

Overhead is insane. I am lucky to have a bunch of dedicated guys who care about the place as much as Lee and I do. Plain and simple without them there would be no HC.
