you know I commonly get asked you know  Jeff why why did you start this business  wiring the marine business and it all  started with my own passion for boating  as long as I can remember from my first  memories I've always wanted to be a  boater I remember telling my parents  when I was four that I was going to have  a sailboat and right out of university  after finishing a bacehlor of applied sciences I decided to  move to British Columbia for the purpose  of actually having a boat and I always  envisioned myself voting here in fjords  in these beautiful inlets big trees  majestic settings and so as a boater  came here wanted to have a boat ended up  buying a boat in 2006 and the process of  buying a boat realized that my votes  electrical system wasn't really a  reflection of what I was wanting to have  which is having a reliable boat  something that actually would work when  I would show up to the boat and take it  out and in the process of looking for  someone that was going to do this work  for me at the time I was looking for  having someone who's an expert in  electrical systems someone that does  things safely that follows the code  someone that cares about the details and  someone that make sure that when they do  something they do it properly they do it  right not just make it work and so I was  I looked and at the time in 2006 when I  was trying to tackle all these problems  I couldn't find anyone that would be  able to do that on my own boat and so I  decided to start my own business to do  that and that is basically to offer  really reliable and safe marine  electrical systems and offer that as a  specialist someone who's an expert in  that field so what's the expectation of  working with pys it's really for me it's  two things one is really important is  expertise through repetition what that  means to me is that it's really hard in  today's world and especially on boats to  be great at everything so as the  philosophy as a model in our business  what we decided to do is to focus on  doing a few things and being really good  at those through repetition and with  repetition comes knowledge and  experience and then eventually we get to  practice and see in getting harder and  more difficult problems and that  experience  the advantage of being really good at  what we do not because we think we're  smarter but because we do it often and  over and over and over again so that's  the first thing experience through  repetition or expertise repetition the  second thing that's really important is  that as a philosophy and that's a  personal philosophy and certainly within  the company is to actually make things  do things right versus making them work  what that means is there's a lot of  different ways of doing things in life  there's many many different paths but  there's generally a better way and  that's the way that the standards  recommend doing it safely and do it to  other people understand so as a  philosophy within our unit and within  the whole business is to actually do  things properly and make it and not just  do it properly don't make it work don't  be satisfied with just having something  half done do it right to completion and  those are probably the two big things  that I think differentiates our business  is expertise - repetition and the focus  on doing things right the first time  you
