The Traveling Salesman Spends 10 Minutes with Don Shan from Fastener Solutions Group
Traveling Salesman (TS): So, how long have you been in this business?
Don Shan (DS): After a very successful high school career as a cook at the Red Barn fast food establishment, I landed a job at a fastener distributor, Service Bolt & Nut (SBN), after being referred by a friend. It was 1978, and I had lasted two weeks in a community college and really did not have a career path. I was hired at SBN as “helper” in the packaging department mostly making metal edged boxes all day. My first few years at SBN created life long friendships with many friends that remain in the fastener industry today.
