It is not often we hear Amish and technology in the same sentence, unless it is to say that the two don’t mix. But, technology or not, many of our Amish neighbors are highly successful entrepreneurs, and Geauga Growth Partnership presents the opportunity to hear three of their stories.
Geauga Growth Partnership, as part of the Geauga Economic Leadership (GEL) breakfast, invites the business community to meet and hear the entrepreneurial success stories of Paul Miller (Honest Scales Recycling), John Kuhns (Country Side Furnishings) and Dave Detweiler (B.C.S. Design) during this special Entrepreneur Success Breakfast on Friday, Dec. 4.
Registration for this program will begin at 7:30 a.m. and the program will take place at 8 a.m. at Kent State University Geauga, 14111 Claridon Troy Rd in Burton. There is no cost to attend the event, but please register here.
Paul Miller began working in the recycling business part time in 1996 before going off on his own and establishing Honest Scales Recycling in 2005, in answer to an increased demand for recycled materials. John Kuhns started the furniture store business in 1999, as a means to deal with personal adversity. Dave Detweiler doesn’t know the meaning of the words, “It can’t be done.” His trade services have evolved from dry walling to custom welding to powder coating, all to meet the demands of the construction market.
All three of these businessmen have stories of success that stem from being innovative and adaptable. Learn how their responses to technological demands have affected their abilities to maintain their Amish principles while thriving in the era of electronic devices. Learn how resourcefulness and risk-taking drives each of them forward.
Geauga Growth Partnerships hosts Entrepreneur Success Breakfasts, organized by its Entrepreneur Task Force (Christian Klein, Chair), as a way to provide networking and inspiration among Geauga County business leaders.
