Rita’s second guest is Duane Genzlinger, inventor of The Box Slider and The Snapper. He and his partner Jerry Hanley started a construction company building custom homes in Colorado, and have used their years of experience in construction to invent new products helpful to builders and building contractors. The Box Slider takes care of misplaced junction boxes that collide with wall trim, while The Snapper is a product that enables you to “snap” a chalk line without an additional person and without a fastener.
Rita’s third guest is Chrissy Henderson. Chrissy and her husband the developed the “Gear Trakr” system.
