On September 21st 2011, Generators Unlimited co-founder, Richard Sherwin, sustained serious injuries during an industrial accident. It has been a long road toward recovery, but like Richard always says, “The harder I work, the luckier I get”. True to form, Richard has been working hard at both Occupational and Physical therapy, and is getting “luckier” everyday. His self motivation and gracious spirit has served him well on his path to healing, as it has with everything Sherwin takes on.
Richard Sherman is a self-made businessman and an American success story. (read more at: http://blogs.gangofpour.com/archives/homage-lytton-springs#ixzz1ihRMS7Ro)
He sold his first winery, Lytton Springs, and purchased a 300 acre vineyard in Mendocino where he and his wife built a winery, hospitality center, and custom home. He then sold his Mendocino, CA property, and later started his current business venture buying and selling generators. His understanding of niche market business methods has served him well over the years, and his independent, entrepreneurial spirit has been a joy to witness by all who have known and worked along side of him. We all look forward to the day when Sherwin is back to business.
It is important to remind others, that safety comes first when it comes to moving heavy industrial equipment. Drivers of trucks, towing generator trailers, trains, planes, ships, and automobiles, must take extra precautions to notify individuals located in close proximity of the realistic hazards associated with vehicles moving forward or backwards. Individuals working around heavy equipment must also remain alert to their surroundings, especially whenever equipment is in motion. Tragic accidents like Richard Sherwin’s happens far too often; the key for all drivers, you and I, is to do everything in our power when behind the steering wheel of any vehicle, to do our do diligence to prevent a life changing accident from occurring.
