In Memory of Al and Robert Stevens and Highland Pattern: A long time ago the father of our co-founder, Craig Stevens, helped to carve this pattern out of wood for the mold of a 1955 GMC pickup truck.  His family’s company employed the best skilled artisans and craftsmen in the business.  They had all of the core competences required to make patterns for molds.  Craig Explains, "My Uncle Robert explained to me, that as time went on, they never developed the core competences required for the Information Technology Revolution."  One of the reasons the company isn't here today is directly related to decisions made not to keep pace with changes related to computerized manufacturing and the vertical integration of the auto industry.  

Westbrook Stevens, LLC:  Craig A. Stevens founded Westbrook Stevens, LLC to teach business and engineering models that he developed based on the earlier works of Dr. Jerry Westbrook.  Dr. Jerry Westbrook's work in management concepts lead to Two of the Five Linked Management Models and was part of the genesis of the overall concept related to the Link Management Models.  The name Westbrook Stevens, LLC is in honor of Dr Jerry Westbrook (one of Craig's lead professors and mentors) and Al Stevens (Craig's father who died when Craig was 13).  Westbrook Stevens, LLC is a woman owned company.  Craig Stevens is the director of operations for Westbrook Stevens, LLC.
