Jesse
Patterson I was born May 25, 1956 in Spearfish, South Dakota and was raised to the age of thirteen in a small farming town on the prairie just off the Black Hills. In 1969, my parents moved our family to Flippin, Arkansas to start a small family business. I graduated from Flippin High School in 1974 and in 1977 graduated from the advanced machine shop class, at Twin Lakes Vocational School in Harrison, Arkansas. After vocational school, I applied and was hired, May 25, 1977 as an apprentice toolmaker at J. V. Tool and Die, which in later years would turn into Volt Industrial Plastics. Through the years of learning and training, I have advanced from apprentice, to toolmaker, to the position I hold now as Tool Room Manager. I consider myself to be very blessed in two ways. One, to have picked a career that has been extremely interesting and challenging, and two, to have started with a young company that I could grow and participate with. The growth and changes that I have seen in the plastics industry and in our company here at V.I.P. in the last few years alone have been very exciting and keeps us keyed up for the opportunities that the future might bring. |
