We wrapped up our fourth year at FuzeHub's NYS Innovation Summit, and what can we say? It’s great to be back in a place that truly celebrates manufacturing and innovation in New York!

From complex to downright colossal, he's making sure everything runs smoothly. Discover what a day in Chip’s shoes as a project manager really looks like.

Our project managers just got a fresh set of wheels!

Tyler’s always known he’d end up in the trades – he grew up around it, working with his grandfather on marine construction and excavation. After completing a Welding and CNC Machining program, he spent a few years in pole barn construction before deciding to get back into a more technical trade, which led him to the millwrights and, eventually, to us! Fun fact: When he’s not working, Tyler loves riding and working on motorcycles. Welcome, Tyler!

Ever wondered what our project managers looked like when they first started their skilled trades journey? And what advice would they give to anyone thinking about a career in the trades? "Take the time to think and listen before you react —it's critical in this line of work. Safety and precision depend on making thoughtful decisions. Always be open to learning; no matter how long you've been doing this, there's always something new to pick up. The equipment evolves, challenges shift, and every project is unique. Patience, communication, and a willingness to continuously improve are key to success in this industry."- Jeremy Foss
