Today we’d like to introduce you to Chris Kelbaugh.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Chris. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
After 8 years serving active duty in the US Air Force, I tested into an engineering position with a robotic and Laser Company called Fanuc America. I worked at Fanuc for 9 years becoming a senior laser support engineer helping and training customers and field engineers in all of North & South America. As I spent more and more time in the office and missing the travel and not wanting to move to Fanuc HQ in Chicago, IL I made the life changing decision to start Advanced Laser Services. At ALS we provide service, technical support & training and part sales for industrial CO2 lasers worldwide.
We have trained & installed laser all over North America and as far as Dubai and Viet Nam. We look forward to building customer relationships and ensuring equipment up time for many years to come as the fabrication sector changes and evolves to include fiber laser and robot and fiber combination cutting.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
If it was easy everyone would do it…We have learned that time and cash flow are the two biggest things that will either set you apart and let you continue to grow the business or stop projects and slow everything down. Causing the business to stagnate. After 11 years we are still growing and learning and will change and evolve as needed.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
