Congratulations to the 40 Under 40 Class of 2023. What an honor to be recognized as up-and-coming leaders in the heat treat industry. I am excited for you and the opportunities you have to lead and help those around you succeed. Because success is found by giving back. That may be something you don’t hear often, but I truly believe we must measure success by the way we are helping others.

With leadership comes responsibilities. As a former professional quarterback as well as an owner of several businesses, I’ve learned a few key principles that I hope will be helpful as you grow as leaders. When performed effectively, they will set up you and your team well.
To succeed by giving back to others, start with the 3 E’s — environment, expectations, and execution.
Environment
The environment, or culture, encompasses the people with whom you work and lead. Being intentional about the kind of culture you create is vital to fostering innovation and freedom of communication. Enthusiasm is the engine that drives, and your attitude precedes everything.
Relationship building is key. Mentoring others by sharing your experiences and expertise is as important as learning from your mentees. Listen and learn — seek knowledge every day and don’t think you have all the answers. It’s the whole of the team that matters. Asking yourself what you can do to help others succeed is a vital component to building a healthy culture that will enable others to shine.
Expectations
Lead by explaining your “why” — be sure you know it and articulate it well. The details are critically important; ensure your team understands your expectations.
To know your why, identify your direction and practice disciplined leadership. Bill Parcells, former head coach of the New York Giants, talked about the importance of direction and discipline. Be definitive in providing direction and model discipline to stick with the task. Embrace the failures, learn from them, and encourage others to not fear them; it’s a process. Share these insights with your team!
Execution
Finally, if you’ve built a healthy environment and your team understands your expectations, lead with present-minded execution.
So, think about today, not yesterday; ask, “What is prevalent today?” And, with every day, be sure you are available to those who need you.
Be reliable in showing up to do the hard work. And be accountable to those you are leading and those to whom you report. Have their backs. Be proud of who you are and who you represent. Execute with confidence.
When Roadblocks Open Doors to True Success
What happens when you experience an unexpected roadblock in this wild adventure called life? Because you know it’s going to happen!
In 1985, during a Monday night game against the Giants, I suffered a severe fracture to my right leg between the knee and ankle that eventually led to my retirement from football. Sure wasn’t expecting that.
What I had to do was find another path that provided me with the same passion as the one that just closed. Was it difficult at first, yes, but because I spent time learning my trade, I was able to work as a sportscaster and pro football analyst for many years and loved it!
Mental toughness will be necessary when you hit those curves. It may not throw you out of the game, but it might throw you off. Focus on persevering, finding that passion, and remembering that success is found in giving back.
Congratulations! I look forward to seeing your success in the lives of the people you lead.
About the Author:
Joe Theismann is the former two-time Pro Bowl star quarterback for the Washington Redskins where he played for 12 seasons and led them to winning Super Bowl XVII. Most recently, he spent the last two decades working for ESPN and the NFL Network as an NFL analyst. He is also a successful restauranteur.
On October 11, 2023, Heat Treat Today, in cooperation with the Metal Treating Institute (MTI), presented the 2023 Master Craftsman Award (also known as the Commercial Heat Treater of the Year Award) to Thermal Vac Technology CEO, Heather Falcone, and her team.
The award was presented at the formal awards presentation banquet at the MTI national conference in Tucson, AZ. Pictured above from left to right Thermal-Vac Technology representatives Julio Salazar, Christopher Falcone, Heather Falcone, Shane Driscol, Ryan Dourte, and Shannon Driscol with Doug Glenn, publisher of Heat Treat Today.
This award is given to the company that demonstrates making a positive impact on their community and their industry. Recognition is based on quality programs, pollution & hazardous waste control, community involvement, and industry leadership and judged by a panel of previous recipients.
At the award presentation, Doug Glenn highlighted that since “this Golden State company uses Best Practices for hazard prevention and waste management, the local fire company actually uses their facility to train new firefighters and other first responders.” Additionally, their track record for community involvement and leadership included mention of onsite AA meetings and sobriety support, as well as participating in Fair Chance Hiring, offering jobs to those recovering from homelessness, addition, poverty, incarceration, or other unfortunate life situations.
Thermal-Vac Technology received a plaque commemorating this auspicious recognition and a scholarship fund of $1500 from Heat Treat Today that was matched with another $1500 from MTI’s Education Foundation. The heat treater will award this $3000 to a high school or college student who is pursuing an education in heat treat.
Congratulations to Thermal-Vac Technology on this award.

The brain drain is real. As new professionals enter the industry, Heat TreatToday is helping to ensure that young and old inquiring minds can connect with and grow from the experiences of high-value industry experts. Get to know Heat TreatToday Consultant:Jon Tirpak.
I am Jon Tirpak, professional metallurgical engineer, fellow and past president of ASM International, chief engineer of Sabattis, LLC, and managing partner of Value Selling Associates. I have decades of metallurgical engineering experience, especially with respect to manufacturing technology research and development in the federal and commercial sectors. I excel at building cross functional teams, establishing lean, sustainable processes, navigating the federal marketplace, and thinking outside of the box. Currently, I am located in Mount Pleasant, SC, but “have ticket, will travel!” I am also available through Zoom and Microsoft Teams, and I would welcome a call.
Jon’s focus is all about creating teams that focus on client-centric processes. He is more than willing to guide clients towards making the necessary, hard choices based on predetermined criteria, all while using a sane selection process. Once, Jon was noted as being the only “adult” in a room of technologists during an investment strategy session. He considers this to be the biggest compliment paid to him.
With over 40 years of experience in metallurgical engineering, Jon has some fantastic stories shrouded in NDAs. But he can share one of his taglines: “You can’t have the alloy without the heat treatment.”
In addition to being a consultant in the heat treat industry, Jon is also an Air Force Veteran. Beginning in 1982, he launched his career at the Air Force Materials Laboratory. His seminal research on fatigue, fatigue crack growth, and fracture toughness testing coupled with other programs promoted the use of aluminum castings in aircraft. Eventually, future research and the continuous improvement of casting alloys and processes coupled with heat treating led to the elimination of the casting factor. His technical reports published in the mid-1980s are still referenced today by researchers around the world.
Air Force's Dynamic Environment Simulator ("Centrifuge")

Jon served as an executive officer within Project Forecast II and focused his expertise on advanced materials and manufacturing in the Plans and Programs Office of the Air Force Materials Laboratory. In addition to his regular duties, Jon served as a test subject in the Air Force’s Dynamic Environment Simulator (DES) or the “Centrifuge.”
With over 40 test and proficiency runs, Jon was a research subject to evaluate new systems battling a phenomenon called G-Induced Loss of Consciousness (G-Loc). This effect occurs when pilots experience the rapid on-set of acceleration (high g-forces) causing a pilot to black out. 8.5 gs was the maximum g-force he experienced in the simulator. Watching Top Gun: Maverick reminded Jon of the graying and blacking out of a pilot subject to these extreme forces. The below photo shows Jon getting suited up for related DES studies and the DES itself which was decommissioned and replaced by the Air Force several years ago.
Lieutenant Tirpak suited up for an aeromedical research study.
(Source: Jon Tirpak)
His second assignment at the Ballistic Missile Office availed Jon to work at the Nevada Test Site conducting underground nuclear tests. All in all, his short tours with the Air Force propelled him into the balance of his civilian, industrial career revolving around different metal forming processes and heat treating. Today, he actively supports a client deploying thermal processing technology to replace carburizing.
The future of heat treat lies in two things: passionate people and cybersecurity. Without passionate professionals who see the whole picture and who are willing to contribute and serve clients, business will languish. And don’t underestimate the importance of cybersecurity! An enterprise needs to “build moats,” train employees, and upgrade software and hardware — and then train again!

The brain drain is real. As new professionals enter the industry, Heat TreatToday is helping to ensure that young and old inquiring minds can connect with and grow from the experiences of high-value industry experts. Get to know the second Heat TreatToday Consultant: Thomas Wingens.
Thomas Wingens, President, WIIC - Wingens LLC
International Industry Consultancy
I am Thomas Wingens, masters in material science, MBA. During my over 35 years in the heat treat industry, I have worked with Bodycote, Ipsen, SECO/ WARWICK, Tenova, and IHI-Group in executive positions. Since 2011, I have been president of WIIC - Wingens LLC International Industry Consultancy in Pittsburgh, PA.
Thomas Wingens began his career in heat treat in 1987 as a metallurgist, heat treater, and consultant. Today, Thomas is an executive manager, experienced metallurgist, and hands-on heat treater with a knack for improving sales, solving technical problems, giving furnace advice, doing his due diligence, and advising executives. If it weren’t for NDAs, Thomas would love to share stories about the many exciting projects he has been fortunate enough to work on, but Thomas is able to share about his experience in developing novel processes for clients in the semiconductor, battery, rare earth magnet, and rocket industries. At Wingens LLC International Industry Consultancy, Thomas’ strengths are on full display. Thomas describes himself as a “hands-on” heat treater, as he consults 100% of the time on heat treating, leveraging his background as a metallurgist. His key assets strengths are his deep thermal processing knowledge and his perfect furnace selection abilities.
Powder metallurgy and thermal processing of specialty materials are areas of expertise for Thomas. These specialty materials include: titanium, tantalum, niobium, neodymium, and rare earth elements. Along with these specialty materials, Thomas has an extensive knowledge of brazing, metal cleaning, hydriding/dehydriding, tool and die heat treatment, high speed heat treating, brazing heat exchangers, and debinding/sintering, as well as sputter targets and reduction and diffusion processes. Thomas has served the medical and aerospace industries, working with medical components and heat treatment of landing gears. Thomas agrees with Elon Musk’s opinion on what comes next: “making stuff ” is the future. In the U.S., 50 years of off- shoring industrial manufacturing is finally coming to an end, and America is reindustrializing. Mines are reopening, raw material processing is becoming a trend, however, a large portion of intellectual property and practical skillsets have been lost. State of the art, environmentally friendly, safe, and automated equipment is needed to meet today’s technical and economical standards.
Thomas was also one of two keynote speakers at Heat TreatToday'sHeat TreatBoot Camp. Thomas’ lectures centered on the processes and materials of the North American heat treat industry; he shared some of his vast knowledge of heat treating for attendees, speaking on common processes, various alloys used in heat treating, and exciting new developments in the future of heat treating.
