Scott Bruneau: A traditional non-traditional engineer
#49 – Scott Bruneau: A traditional non-traditional engineer
an engineer is somebody who makes precise guesswork based on unreliable data provided by people with questionable knowledge.
Studied nuclear engineering in high school. Yes, high school.
Buuuut, got his engineering degree late in life.
An early position was in quality – to get to know the parts – because that group knows them best.
Worked on drill rigs – building and using.
Buying Delaware metals was a legacy decision, not a financial one.
AeroGrowth has helped his business grow.
Ownership will give you humility.
Quoting production jobs was a big learning curve
They are very transparent about prices and costs
Also wants to partner with other shops. Demand is high.
He’s working a lot of hours: his systems are good but not all the right people yet.
Needs good machinists, not just operators.
Interdependent, not co-dependent
Likes the mental discipline of golf
Not a fan of Nicholas Cage
