There’s always a challenge, you have to think through what you’re going to do before you do it. There’s always something new to learn.” Dill says taking certain classes in high school helped prepare him for a future in manufacturing. “I took every agricul- ture, mechanics, metal working and construc- tion related class that I could,” he says. Other subjects are important, too. “I wish I had paid more attention in science and math. I use a lot of math every day,” he explains.
