LCI’s Post

Transcript

LCI is the largest employer people are blind in the country and they're manufacturing company. All I wanted to do is learn about manufacturing folks who are blind. Jeffrey kept talking about one to create upper mobility for people who are blind and that's brought me down to start LLC I Tech and that was kind of the origins of it. I remember the first time coming Intel CI, I was taking a tour with Dwayne Gilbertson, who's the chief revenue officer of LLC I he was walking me through the manufacturing and at this time I was starting to lose my sight. I couldn't see much in front of me and I was doing a sighted guide. When you put an elbow out. I'm holding on to Duane's elbow and he's guiding me through this manufacturing facility. Which is 240,000 square feet of amazing space, over 2000 products being made. There's hundreds of people working there. And I just remember walking through and hearing the collars of the dogs, the canes hitting the sides of the panels and people just working. I could hear the laughter. I could hear these sounds that I never thought possible. I didn't think people who are blind could have jobs, have successful careers like this. And it brought me to tears. It was divine intervention for me to hear those sounds. And to this day, we've launched a blur. We've been successful doing what we do every day. I I feel accountable to those folks because it's those people who work in that manufacturing facility who gave us our start. For that, I'll always be grateful.
