Finkenbeiner, Inc. in 1986 part time doing shipping, receiving and cleaning. Much like Tom, she was unaware at the time of the impact this decision would have on her life. Tom and Diane Hession were married on 2-27-87. They are now the proud parents of three children, Thomas Jr., Daniel, and Jaymie. At present, times have changed, Diane now single handedly runs the office, and the shipping and receiving end of the business. She also handles many of the price quotes and materials purchasing.
