After Leaving Corporate America, The Sky’s The Limit

That’s exactly how Mike Ozmon sees the potential with the new business venture he started with his wife Kristin: Fibrenew South Knoxville. He’s a recent graduate of the leather, plastic and vinyl restoration company’s extensive training program in Calgary, and has been working diligently at establishing his franchise as market leader in the Knoxville area. Prior to becoming a Fibrenew franchisee, Ozmon invested years with a national communications company, working positions from technician to maintenance. But something was missing. “Corporate America has changed so much that it seemed everywhere I went I was just a number, completely expendable,” he explains. “I was determined to secure the future for my wife and I and have more leeway in which direction we’re going.”

Ozmon has already set up his day-to-day operations with the precision of a seasoned business owner. He regularly works on the Fibrenew Apprenticeship Program Training each morning before heading out for face-to-face calls with new and potential clients. When he’s back in the office he’s researching prospects in the area who will benefit from his specialized services in repairing and restoring leather, plastic and vinyl products.

With a large market share (Chattanooga and Memphis being two to three hours away in either direction) Ozmon sees nothing but potential for his new enterprise. “McGhee Tyson airport is fairly large, and we have four or five smaller airports in the area,” he says. “And boating galore — we have lots of lakes, the Tennessee River and Douglas Lake, so lots of potential with marinas in the spring.” To add to Ozmon’s growing list of potential air and marine clients are the numerous medical and commercial operations in the vicinity.

Right now, Ozmon is preparing Fibrenew South Knoxville for exponential growth, and has forecasted his wife, Kristin, to soon join the team full time as office manager, freeing up more face-to-face contact for Ozmon and their clients...more on the interview here!

Former Real Estate Agent and Golf Pro Turned Fibrenew Franchise Owner

When Jason Neufeld was growing up, his family owned and operated a service station in downtown Winnipeg. After the family sold their business, Jason moved to Alberta where he worked as a golf pro for a few years. He and his wife then returned to their home province of Manitoba where he worked in commercial real estate until the opportunity to purchase the Fibrenew Winnipeg Franchise presented itself.

Buying an established franchise had the advantage of already having a customer base, but it also came with the expectation that Jason be ready to go to serve that customer base with expert leather, plastic and vinyl restoration services. Thankfully, he has the support of Fibrenew Franchise Head Office, his three full time technicians and his one part time technician to help him...continue reading!

From a Background in Manufacturing to Fibrenew Franchise Owner

At Fibrenew we are big on supporting one another. In doing that, we would like to share spotlight interviews with our amazing franchisees. Today we are talking looking at Steve Kostecki and his Fibrenew Franchise of Inland Empire, California.

Steve came to the Fibrenew family after a long and successful career in the plastics manufacturing industry. He spent the last few years in his previous job as VP of Operations, supervising three plants that made plastic bottles for the pharmaceutical and vitamin industries.

The Inland Empire Franchise has been in operation since 2009. Steve says there is no such thing as a typical day for him. Each day brings something new. Some mornings he is in his office, in the afternoon he may be on the road criss crossing his territory which spans the very eastern edges of the greater Los Angeles area . . . more of the story here!

Leather Renovation/Restoration Man of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton : Dick Streever

By: Clare Parkhurst of InSide The Back Mountain

My first meeting with Dick Streever is very memorable for me. Our meeting came about after he phoned me with questions about InSide the Back Mountain magazine. He had received InSide in his Shavertown mailbox and was curious about how our magazine could benefit his business. Our first meeting was early last fall at his business located in Swoyersville.

More than writing about the people, the businesses and the “going’s on” in The Back Mountain, what I find most rewarding is really getting to know about how people arrived here, why they came here and what they find so appealing about our community. That conversational process is the best thing about what I do. I love getting to know new people and their stories. Dick Streever’s story is a special one.

Dick is a quiet man but certainly not one reluctant to share his story. Dick and I are contemporaries…. baby boomers. We share a lot of the same opinions like the old comments from grandparents and parents who have always claimed, “This new generation is just not the same”. Our conversation interestingly started by talking about what we both call “the disposable generation”. John C. O’Keefe from Creative Commons describes this so well in his blog: “Recently we had an issue with our coffee maker. It refused to make coffee – and, generally speaking, for a coffee maker that’s not a good thing. So, I did what all dutiful husbands would do to keep their wives from destroying the house: I contacted the company in hopes of sending it back to them for repairs. The company was quick to offer us a new one, sent to us at no charge. I thought, ‘Ok, we will send back the old one, they will fix it and sell it online as refurbished.’ When I asked what to do with the broken one, I was told, ‘Toss it out – it’s broken.’ Unfortunately, this is nothing new, we live in a disposable culture, a culture where tossing something away when it breaks is easier, and often cheaper, than it is to get it fixed. TV breaks, get a new one; fan breaks, get a new one; coffee maker breaks, get a new one. Disposable lighters, computers, cell phones, radios – you name it, it’s made to be tossed away, and not repaired – we have moved from a ‘repair culture’, to a ‘consumer culture’. If it is broken, toss it out.” more of the story!

Saul Shapiro: Fibrenew Manhattan Central

Saul Shapiro was a materials engineer and a broadcast technologist before he opened his own leather, plastic and vinyl restoration franchise business with Fibrenew. Shapiro’s story is unique because while most of his fellow franchisees operate their businesses from vans and trucks, Saul’s mode of transportation for his on-site service business is a bicycle and trailer. In this 3:40 video, we follow Saul on his bike to a leather repair job in a customer’s home on Manhattan’s upper west side.
