Jim
Curry graduated (barely) from
Rutgers University
,
NJ
in 1979 with a BA in Business
Administration. Those who know him realize he only went to college for
wrestling- well, that was the main reason! Jim started his career at Magnetic
Metals and eventually worked his way into sales. He got the nickname
"Crash" during his tenure at Magnetic Metals when he totaled 3 cars
in 1 1/2 years. (Nobody said he was a good driver!) He went to work at Tempel
Steel where for 17+ years he worked hard and diligent
to satisfy his customers as well as his employer. After numerous
promotions, Jim eventually made a choice to begin his own business. As he
looks back, Jim said it was one of the best decisions he ever made. Jim's daily
duties include overseeing the sales effort for Galaxy as well as the
purchasing. Jim's pride and joy are his 3 tremendous kids. When not working,
you'll find Jim on a soccer pitch somewhere or backstage hobnobbing with some
old time rocknrollers.
Ken
Burns is a graduate of Washington University of St. Louis with a degree in
Chemical Engineering. After graduating from Washington University, Ken entered
the USNR as an officer. After spending many nights on the sea, and even more in
foreign ports, Ken eventually left the Navy and decided to pursue yet another
career- Law. Ken continued his education and eventually graduated from
Rutgers
University
Law
School with a Law Degree. After
passing the bar in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Ken decided sunny Florida
was the place to be. He moved to Miami where he proceeded to learn the
transformer business. Today, Ken who is also known as
"Forest Gump" for obvious reasons, is the General Manager of Galaxy.
He's the brain behind the operation! His main focus is ensuring customer orders
are produced on time and in a quality fashion. When he's not working, Ken is
normally spending his time with his nieces and nephews.
In
closing, while these two fellows are as different as Felix and Oscar of The
Odd Couple fame, they both strive to achieve one goal and it has
become the company philosophy:
"Treat
all customers the way you'd want to be treated; always give them the best price
possible, the quickest turnaround, and the best quality possible and always
remember:
the better your customer does, the better you all
do!"
