• Age 18-21 - Attended UWM, majored in Finance. Worked as a roofer, laborer, construction, and various manual labor trades. 
• 21 - 25 - Left University to take a go at Tech School. Simultaneously worked as a welder, fabricator, machine operator (CNC, Waterjet, Laser, etc.) During this time and more I worked at a vast array of metal fabrication companies. Some of the responsibilities I incurred were 2D and 3D CAD\CAM programming of CNC Mills, Lasers, Plasma Cutters, Waterjets, Lathes, as well as welding (sheet metal fabrication), and heavy metal fabrication. 
• 25 - 27 - After realizing that college was not the best path for me, I worked in a wide array of machining, prototyping, engineering, fabrication, foundries, CNC, Sheet Metal, Heavy Weld, and every complex fabrication process that exists. 
  • Examples of industries that represent the depths of my experience and knowledge - 
    • Travel Lift Systems for movement of large freighters and heavy equipment
    • Bay Ship both on new and old construction (welding, fabrication, etc.)
    • Machining and machine operation of CNC's, Lasers, Waterjets, Plasma Cutters, Pittsburg's, Rollers, Grinders, Sheet Metal, Bending, Shearing, Forklift Operation, CAT Certified for Heavy Weldments on Mining Equipment, Carbon Arc, Buggo Use, anywhere from .030 hardwire to 3/32 fluxed core, X-Rayed processes, Machine Maintenance, Machine Repair, Learned Metals and their properties in depth at this time. 
  • Around 27-28 I was dealing with ruptured discs in my lower back and my career in physical labor was coming to end. However, the experience I gained during this period was crucial to what makes me exceptionally qualified to run my own company. I worked in every position from sweeping the floors to the most complex and tedious machining and fabrication processes. Being that my back was no longer allowing physical labor I transitioned into programming, CAD\CAM, 2D, 3D, modeling, mechanical engineering, design, and quality. 
• 27 - 29 - I quickly realized that my capacity for understanding the internal, complex aspects of these industries was leading to a management focused role. However, for two or three years I worked at a vast array of companies learning the different processes. I programmed every type of machine that exists. I have knowledge of most modeling software that exists. I did everything from drawing commercial concrete engineering drawings to glazing and structural aluminum. As well as CNC's, Lasers, Waterjets, etc. During this time, I gained a deep insight into mechanical engineering. 
  • At the age of 28 or 29 I filed an LLC called Green University Engineering Services. My initial plan was to produce engineering drawings for commercial glazing contractors and structural aluminum and glass producers and installers. However, I was led down a detour of sorts during the first year of my self-employment. 
  • A contractor that designed, fabricated, and manufactured concrete shredding machines hired me as an engineering contractor. During this time was the first taste of management of large, complex projects I experienced. Due to my experience with 2D and 3D CAD software, I was tasked with managing the entire design of a $2m concrete shredding machine. 
  • Under the guidance of a very experienced mechanical engineer, I was taught the foundations and basics of compliance, standards, GD&T, ISO, pro-active approaches, SIGMA planning, and delegation of tasks. After the machine had been designed, produced, and sold, work ran out with that company. https://youtu.be/z9ofZlElBhs  <<< Videos I took of the completed machine in operation. Yes, this is me recording this.
• 29 - 30 - After work ran out doing contracting, I ventured back into the world of employment and was given an incredibly unique opportunity. I found a position at a Rapid Prototyping, Complex CNC Machining, Foundry Tooling, Engineering, and Consulting Company that provides remarkably similar services to what we would like JSTS Enterprise to provide. During my time as a Project Manager, I managed between $200,000 and $500,000 per month in revenue. Please keep in mind that this was the first time I had officially been hired for Project Management specifically (with no degree, and only my experience for education). 
  • Luckily, I landed at a very respectable company. While there I learned the best business practices, psychology, synergy, and critical aspects of the trade, such as leading by example and creating a culture of inclusiveness, transparency, honesty, integrity, and determination. 
  • Some of my accomplishments after only seven months as a project manager in rapid prototyping include - 
    • Responsibility for largest accounts by volume after only one month on the job. 
    • Below is a list of a portion of my customers - 
      • Oshkosh Defense
      • Meritor
      • Brunswick (Mercury Marine)
      • CATERPILLAR (Largest Client)
      • CTI (Israeli Ministry of Defense)
      • Gits Manufacturing
      • Cummins
      • Allison Transmission
      • Polaris
      • John Deere
      • Husco
      • Boeing
      • and many more
    • Maintained an average profit margin of 30 - 40% and never fell below 20%. 
    • Increased the revenue stream by upwards of $1m single handedly. Many buyers and engineers were referred directly to me from other divisions in large companies because they enjoyed my handling of their projects so much. 
    • Consulting on every aspect of the industry for most new customers. 
    • Scheduling all employee and department tasks. 
      • Foundry Tooling Production (engineering)
      • QA team
      • Engineering Team
      • Programming Teams
      • Machinists
      • Laborers
      • Dozens of vendors
    • Engineering techniques acquired - 
      • Proper dimensional adjustments to model to account for shrinkage and expansion in cooling components
      • Proper creation and engineering of foundry tooling components (determining split lines, adding draft, running flow analysis, understanding of alloy shrinkage rates, chemical balance to produce proper porosity levels per application, determining best elements and practices relative to critical aspects of component applications. 
      • CMM and QA software (best processes, software, procedures)
      • Best path and tooling techniques to minimize chatter and vibration while maintaining prominent levels of production and best practices for balance to prolong tool life, while producing components as quickly as possible to provide for rapid turnaround on extraordinarily complex components. 
      • Best materials per application (Whether to use wood, polyurethane, or investment casting, whether a hunter is used, green sand or alternatives, efficient design of foundry tooling, PDM and Vault model management, best type of cores, such as printed, blown, foam, etc.)
      • Deep understanding of components critical requirements, critical dimensions, GD&T (is its own language), best processes and materials based on applications on everything from simple handles to extraordinarily complex aerospace components with extremely tight tolerances. 
      • Best quality practices, procedures that automate as much as possible, limit room for human error, extensively document and report all processes. 
      • Gained a deep understanding of different industry expectations, PPAP Levels, compliance requirements such as MIL-SPEC or MIL-STD, ITAR, or DFAR (examples) and required steps to prove to customers those policies and procedures are in place to ensure quality, and those measures and procedures are followed meticulously. And provide any required documentation to prove processes. 
      • Gained a deep understanding of industrial equipment, manufacturers reputations, quality of assorted brands, best machines for specific processes and applications. 
      • In depth costing, budgeting, planning, scheduling, creation of contingencies, forecasting, accurate and fair pricing, value added processes, best vetting practices for employees, vendors, suppliers, as well as customers (finding customers with ethical standards and value driven convictions is deeply important to us). 
      • Advanced understanding of ERP, CRM, advertising, B2B sales, customer management, being intuitive about different desires and demands and then creating a relationship with other companies that brings out the best qualities of each. 
      • Meticulously defining, recording, documenting, and pro-actively implementing and producing new and innovative solutions to problems and increase value. 
      • The combination of my experiences, my learning style, my capacity for understanding and retaining complex systems, as well as years of experience in every position in the industry all provide me with a vividly unique understanding of how to create an exceptional company. Given the opportunity and provided with the capital, I can assure you that we will create the most successful and dependable companies in the world. 

• In summary, we are asking for funding ranging from $250k to around $5m for the following -
  • Purchasing or leasing property
  • Hiring skilled labor
  • Purchasing of equipment, consumables, software
  • Covering accounting, payroll, HR, consulting, taxes, COGS, etc. 
  • Keeping around 35-55% of the cash for working capital and unforeseen costs
  • Enough breathing room to be able to afford the time to set everything up properly and ensure that time is spent ensuring everything is as efficient as possible. 
  • Since marketing is based more on word of mouth or application processes and qualifying, almost no money needs to be spent on marketing. 
  • We would like enough capital to be able to afford mid-grade equipment and high-grade quality equipment. Without the proper equipment and the necessary labor to effectively function on a large scale, quality, timeliness, and accident prevention will suffer immensely. 
  • The reason that this business is recession proof, with exceptional profit margins and large revenue streams is because value is based on diligence, consistency, and understanding. This requires a large amount of capital up front to provide the necessary functions. EG - High precision CNC machines, quality tools, well vetted vendors, thorough project management capabilities, and expensive software that provides necessary depth in the context of quality requirements and production. 
  • Also, you get what you pay for. Employees that are professionally qualified as WELL as having personality traits and characteristics that flow well with others are not cheap but are vitally important to success. The plan is to have all employees take Meyers Briggs personality tests and other assessments to determine compatibility with others and to get a deep understanding of how different personality types interact. 
  • Another enormous factor is creating a system for the employees that minimizes the responsibilities, automates as much as possible, and creates a culture where communication is professional and interactions are mellowed through open-minded, understanding personalities. And after being at dozens of companies, there is absolutely a universal construct whereby the leaders, owners, and managers set the tone for the entire rest of the company and the self-worth the employees place on themselves, thus directly proportional quantification of the rise and fall of morale. All team members should show respect and empathy. And upper management needs to exemplify the desire to understand each other and the psychological, sociological factors that impact our mental, physical, and emotional health. Training in this regard is also expensive, but necessary. 
  • This is also one of the most complex industries and trades around which requires EVERY team member to be highly skilled in their area of production or service. They will also require slightly higher salaries as the success or downfall of a company could come from something as small as trying to cut corners by hiring people who are not qualified to be performing their tasks. However, revenue and net margin tend to make up for this eventually and overall. 
  • And one MAJOR point I would like to finish on is the following - 
    • Truth be told, there is no limit to the amount that could potentially be invested that would fail to produce a healthy ROI. It comes down to what the investor wants to risk and how knowledgeable the investor is about this industry.  
    • An investor who is deeply knowledgeable about this industry will be willing to risk more capital up front for a better return knowing the nuance and provision of this industry. Knowledge recognizes knowledge and reason recognizes reason. 
    • The more that is invested up front, the quicker the ROI will come and the easier our transition from start-up to enterprise level corporation will go. However, we will make it work with any amount that pushes us into the goldilocks zone of what we can provide. You do not expect a Geo Metro to haul Semi - Loads across the country and trying to provide quality and value without capital in this industry is the same thing.

1. At this point in time, we already have potential contracts with a number of large companies. 

• The name of the LLC will be JSTS Enterprise, currently we own Green University Engineering, and we will be changing the name and NAICS code or adding to it for the creation of this. We would like an entity that has been in business for a while to make certain things easier. 
• Still in the process of updating my LinkedIn profile, websites, etc. If you have specific questions about anything, please ask and we will clarify. 
• If you require an in-depth business plan, we are happy to provide one, but we would need to know how much capital is being offered for investment before providing specific projections or P\L statements. 
• We have a very deep roster of experts, managers, and associates to provide more than enough support in any areas that might need guidance. We would be happy to provide a list of references and resources. 
•
