Who we are
Meet Our Leadership Team
Jeff Olsen
President
“I feel fortunate that every day we get to work with this amazing material. Everything about carbon fiber is special—from its weight and strength to its sheer beauty when it catches the light. I am continually inspired by the material and all of the cool and interesting ways that our customers use it.”
Michelle Fennimore
Vice President
“I love talking to our customers, learning what they’re trying to accomplish, and figuring out what kinds of products would best fit their needs. The best part though, is hearing how happy they are with the final result—that the part looks great and functions exactly the way they wanted. Mission accomplished!”
Sam Olsen
Technical Sales
“Our success is not about closing a sale. It’s about establishing and maintaining relationships with our customers. They come to us with problems that they need help solving and through a combination of consultation, collaboration, and execution, we create lasting partnerships. That’s the most satisfying part of the job for me.”
Chi Hoang
Production Supervisor
“Often, our sales team comes to me with a customer’s drawing and says, ‘Can we make this?’ Sometimes it’s easy, but other times, it’s like a puzzle that means thinking outside the box. Customers come to us with new ideas all of the time, so my job is always interesting.”
