It’s Monday! Meet Rob.⠀
⠀
Experience is a harsh teacher—she gives the test first and the lessons later. For 35 years, Rob has been learning those lessons and passing those tests. For nearly 20 of them, he’s done it here at Federal Metal, leading our #foundry with the kind of steady knowledge only time can teach.

It’s Monday! Meet Rob.⠀

When it came time to replace retired maintenance legend Dave Henderson, we had an ace up our sleeve. We knew Dave’s four decades of experience would be irreplaceable—but we still went searching for someone smart, inventive and allergic to downtime. Turns out, he was already on our payroll, sitting atop our perfect attendance list.⠀
⠀
Rob hasn’t missed a day since the Obama administration, and every one of those days he’s carried on Dave’s legacy while building his own.
