“My name is James C. Russell. I have been employed with QCMR since June 2014. I spent 24 years, 9 months, 3 days in prison. I was released at the age of 56 years old with no skill set, this made it very hard to get a stable job as well as my past. Queen City Metal took a chance and hired me. They not only did not judge me by my past they saved my life. I was given the opportunity to be judged by my work ethic.

I don't know what I would of done without this place, as it gave me hope and pride in myself that I had not had in years. I now have a sense of pride knowing that I have a job and people who truly care about me as a person. This company and mostly Michelle the confidence I could do anything. All I asked God was a chance and this place gave me that.”
