Michigan is my
passion. Quite frankly, it should be everyone’s passion. But even if it were, I
think I would still love it more than anyone else does. I just love the way
that when the economy turned down, instead of feeling sorry for ourselves, we
got on our feet and fought back. Michigan now has one of the fastest-growing
economies in the country and I believe that that is due to people who love this
state.
As one of those
people, I like to do everything I can to promote businesses in Michigan. So,
being fortunate enough to own a successful business, I started a program where
I would buy ad space in newspapers for any Michigan-owned company. It was a
fascinating journey. Sometimes companies would seek me out and other times, I seek
them out. One company I came across is a Michigan industrial oven manufacturer
called Perceptive Industries. They
make industrial ovens like heat recovery systems and stress relieving ovens –
and they are based in Michigan. Now, a lot of people might pass over this
company like it’s nothing, but Perceptive Industries caught my eye. Why? Well,
aren’t industrial ovens used to dry paint on cars? And isn’t Michigan supposed
to be the heart and soul of the auto industry?
Well, I sure
wish I could say that I needed a regenerative thermal oxidizer, but I don’t.
Since the usual route of advertising wouldn’t do much for this company, I
instead started contacting various plants and factories around Michigan and
informing them about Perceptive Industries.
I like doing
whatever I can to serve Michigan, and if that means going a little out of my
way, then so be it. I don’t mind.
