Welcome to Creating Structure Podcast #42 with Dan Shields.
Having known Dan for a while now, and having worked with him in the past, I know him as a voracious learner, high energy guy, a creative problem solver, and a person that is unafraid to try new things. Dan's story and ascension is inspiring and tangible.
From his beginnings in the metals, curtain wall, fabricated products, glazing industry sweeping floors in the shop, to running CNC equipment and saws, to project management, to estimating, to sales, sales management, to executive leadership, and more, there's some good lessons to learn from his experience. We also share some relevant industry content and advice in this discussion.
Dan is the President of Fabricated Products Group (FPG) and has approximately 25 years of industry experience in the metals, facade, curtain wall, panel, architectural component and supply industries.
FPG is a custom fabricator and machine job shop specializing in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of premium architectural systems and components. They provide exceptional quality with breakneck turnaround times and is a subsidiary of MHS Legacy Group, a diversified national holding corporation based in St. Louis with roots dating back to 1895.
