Success Stories: Like Father, Like Son 

 

Tom HodgeTom Hodge learned his passion for tooling and machining from his father, a toolmaker for General Motors for 37 years. When Tom decided to leave the shop floor and start his own business, he turned to SCORE, where he learned that preparation, flexibility and adaptation are the keys to success. 

 

"Starting my own machining business has been a dream of mine since I began working in the trade at the age of 18. I reached out to SCORE for assistance with my business plan and was teamed up with a mentor who had owned a successful manufacturing business for 23 years. He taught me how to realign my thinking and make decisions from the business perspective. My SCORE mentor helped me start my business off strong and give it the best chance to succeed in the long term."
