(RECAP) July Virtual Meeting - The MRS Story: Family, Faith, Grit & the Reality of Building a Machine Shop
Matt Guse joined CWIMA's July Virtual Lunch & Learn to talk about his path into manufacturing, and it's not the path you'd expect. Matt, president of MRS Machining in Augusta, struggled through school, and got pushed toward tech ed almost by accident. He now runs a 40-year-old machine shop, holds patents, and wrote a book about the business his dad started. He talked about training teachers instead of just students, why soft skills matter more than technical ones early on, why he recruits at coffee shops instead of job boards, and how a small shop like his is actually using AI day to day. His point wasn't subtle: if you want good people in manufacturing, you have to go find them yourself. Nobody's going to hand them to you.
