We’ve got to cut down on the sensationalism.” Howard blushes slightly at the mention of his All-American Title but points out that his winning the award proves that you don’t have to be fancy or big to do a good job.

Keep your operations efficient and as low-cost as possible without sacrificing quality production,” he stresses.
