I joined the T & B Family in 2010 as a Temporary Employee with little warehouse experience. I started as a Material Handler and after 3 months started training on a Cold Saw.

From there I was trained on several machines and now hold a position as Recut Supervisor.

I was able to purchase my first house and raise 4 kids working with T&B Tube. The Opportunities with the Company are Limitless.
