  1. HI Terry:

    I’m new to OKC and am curious if networking via the Rotary Club is in keeping with the spirit of your organization. I’m in technical consultative sales for Timken Bearings & Mechanical Power Transmission products. We support and work closely with the Oil & Gas industry. Additionally, I’m developing business for novel integrated heat treating technologies that can make metal valves, valve seats, bearing components, ductile cast iron and other products more cost effectively with improved metallurgy. Finally, my life’s mission is the advancement of people looking to improve their career situation and better providing for their families. I’ve attended two Club 29 meetings and have been very impressed with the associates I’ve met and the speakers, however, I’m not sure if my twofold objectives are in alignment with the Club. If you would, feel free to respond via Email or call my cell – anytime. Cell 405-243-1191 Thank you very much! Matt Ostrofsky
