Living the Dream – and Helping Others Do the Same

I didn’t grow up running a machine shop.

 I started out in software, working with manufacturers. After helping build and sell a few companies, I realized what I loved most wasn’t tech…it was working with real people, solving real problems, and building things that actually matter.

That’s what led me to Hill Manufacturing. We’ve built this company around one promise: Deliver quality parts. On time. Every time. We back that up with strong systems, sharp people, and relentless follow-through.

But let’s be real, manufacturing isn’t just about machines and metrics, it’s about trust. When you send us a job, you’re betting on us to protect your timeline, your reputation, and your customer relationships…We don’t take that lightly.

 I’ve spent the last 20+ years in the trenches—launching, scaling, buying, and fixing businesses. I’ve been the guy waiting on parts that never show. I’ve had vendors go quiet when things go sideways.

 If you’re tired of chasing suppliers, tired of excuses, and tired of fixing someone else’s mess…give us a shot. We’re here to earn your trust—and keep it.

In the meantime, you can find me on the MakingChips podcast and Buy the Numbers — where I talk shop, strategy, and what it really takes to build a business that lasts.
