Conference MC
Conference Topic: From Hobby to Business
My name is Jason Reynolds. Someone once described me as an open book that no one can read. I am rather fond of this, and find it rather accurate. I often find myself daydreaming. Sparks of thought ignite flames of imagination. Then before you know if I am off and away, deep in some adventure, or lost in a concept. I excel in Ideation, the creation of ideas, and love the process of hashing out the details of the never before

As the consumer electronics industry boomed throughout the 70’s and 80’s, Pat cut his teeth working in every facet of precision manufacturing, from operating machine tools to managing operations and staff. That from-the-ground-up practical experience convinced Pat that he was more than qualified to start his own manufacturing company—and moreover, that he could do it better than the companies he’d been working for.
With the help of Debra VanSickle, Pat set to work outfitting a small workspace with the necessary equipment. Pat and Debra opened Peridot in 1996. Since then, he has guided the company through its growth from a small, rapid prototyping and product development specialist to its current structure, offering complete end-to-end precision manufacturing and clean room assembly services to a wide range of industries.
