Chief among them is being the third-generation president and CEO of privately-held Horst Engineering.
The East Hartford-based contract manufacturer specializes in making precision-machined components and assemblies for aerospace and other high-technology industries.
The company, which turns 75 in 2021, is in the midst of building a new headquarters at 141 Prestige Park Road in East Hartford. Horst will consolidate its three existing Connecticut locations at the 7-acre site.
