We are excited to congratulate our Vice President, Blaine Gray, on his decision to retire. Not because we want to see him leave – he has been such a joy to work with; but because he is worth celebrating. For those of you who have worked with Blaine, please join us in sharing the sentiments of this exciting event.

Blaine began his career at Electronic Craftsmen in 1999 as our Quality Manager and successfully worked his way up to Vice President. It has been a great honour to partner with Blaine on the successes and challenges we have faced over the past 22 years together.

 

I could always count on him as either the voice of reason or someone to count on. Blaine, we thank you for your years of dedication, your leadership, your crazy dad jokes, but most of all, your friendship.  Tom Bresele, President
