Lighting A Path

"Odyssey 1 and 2 are a result of [Medlock's] dream to share knowledge and experience with the industry," confirms Dennis Garrity, president of Bar-Plate Manufacturing. He emphasizes Medlock spent close to 2,000 hours making sure both shows were successful.

Medlock's term as IADD president has held special challenges, in light of the economic downturn and continuing difficulties for the U.S. manufacturing sector. Though Medlock contends that the tougher business landscape has divided his attentions between Stafford and the IADD more than he would like, his colleagues have nothing but praise for his unwavering dedication to IADD objectives. "Clint has put his energy into overdrive and led us through the year holding together and planning ahead for years to come," Adkison states.
