SUMMARY:5S/CI
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Grand Ballroom F \nSpeaker: Peter Skinner – Press – Seal Corporation \nSpeaker Bio: \nI am married; my wife Karisa is fantastic. We have three wonderful kids (11\, 8\, 5)\, three good dogs\, and a cat\, who’s just okay. I enjoy lifting in the mornings\, my children’s sporting events\, and I have recently taken up the game of golf; I’m horrible. I say that honestly\, with no false modesty. \nI have grown up on production floors\, most of that time in our family business. When I was 7\, I would go to work with my Dad on the weekends. He would let me play in the factory while he caught up on work. I came back dirty\, but learning and exploring the family business from the start. At 15\, I started working on the floor during summers. After attending Purdue\, I quickly found my way back to Press-Seal and\, in 2007\, returned to stay. I have focused on the operations side of the business during my time at Press-Seal and worked with our team to do multiple vertical integrations managing various production departments\, purchasing\, and operations as a whole. In March 2020\, I took on the role of CEO. I enjoy my role as CEO immensely\, the team I lead\, and the growth we have experienced are fantastic. I am at my best at work when I get to be the kid playing in the back of his family’s rubber factory.
