Tapp, whose last day is June 28, 2013 has been with Goodson Tools & Supplies since April 1992. According to David Monyhan, Goodson Sales Manager, “Jim has been at the heart of many of our new products over the years. He has experience in running his own shop and teaching at a tech school, which gave him a unique perspective on the shop supplies business. Jim will be missed and we wish him the absolute best.”

Tapp says that once he retires he plans to get his home machine shop reorganized so he can work on small engines and “finally finish the 1937 Ford Half-Ton Pickup I’ve been trying to get to for years.”
