We are so excited to report that a former Tri Star student (from Celina), Tom Burden, will be on Shark Tank this Sunday.  Burden attended Tri Star’s Precision Machining class in 2007-08 and paired it with the Engineering Technology program the following year (2008-09).  Burden has invented the Grypmat, a nonslip tool tray, which he will pitch to the Sharks on Sunday, Nov. 12, 2017 at 9:00 P.M. (ABC’s Shark Tank).  Burden, a graduate of the University of Toledo and a former Tech Seargent (F-16 Weapons Mechanic), with the Ohio Air National Guard resides in Columbus, Ohio.  For more on Burden’s invention view his Grypmat website here.
