Bryzos

"I know what dirty hard work looks like."

Long before Dark Threat Fabrication and Bryzos met at FABTECH, Andrew Roberson had big plans for what his fab shop would look like.

In Pt. 1, Andrew Roberson, owner and Lead Engineer of Dark Threat Fabrication out of Heber Springs, AR, shares his humbling beginnings working in home building and metal fabrication alongside his grandpa and father.

After learning the trades, his love of his truck and creating things with his hands led him down a path that would eventually lead him to Dark Threat Fab.

But the road there wasn't paved. It was poured, welded, and stitched together one late night at a time. Andrew opens up about the moments of doubt, the people who showed up when it mattered, and the quiet decisions that shaped the kind of shop, and the kind of man, he wanted to be.

"The major goal of any structural engineer is to prevent damage or loss of life"

Mike Brown, SE with John A. Martin & Associates, Inc. joined me on the show floor to give me his background, insights, and hot takes from the perspective of a Structural Engineer and Project Manager.

We tend to walk through buildings, sit in stadiums, drive across bridges only thinking of the importance of structural engineers when looking at these colossal projects. But what frequently gets overlooked is the impact of these professionals in the smaller jobs, where every single decision is made with the safety of the public in mind.

No one ever really knows how they ended up in the steel industry. That's basically what Haylee Fort of Willbanks Metals told us at NASCC 2026, and honestly? We couldn't agree more 😂

Her path to Business Development at a third-generation carbon steel supplier is anything but straight, and it makes for a great story.

Tune in for her hot takes and a look at what makes Willbanks different. Ep. 49 of Irregardless is out now.

The metals industry is going digital and you have a front-row seat with Bryzos.

For a long time, this industry ran on relationships, phone calls, and tribal knowledge. That worked, and in many ways it still does. But something has fundamentally shifted in how buyers and sellers want to operate. The generation now making procurement decisions grew up expecting the same seamless digital experience at work that they have everywhere else in their lives, and industries that have resisted that change are starting to feel the pressure.

We built the Gone In 60 Seconds™ app because we saw that gap in metals. A marketplace designed around the way this industry actually moves, where buyers can source and sellers can move inventory faster than the old process ever allowed.

What has surprised us along the way is not just the adoption, it's the engagement. Buyers and sellers are actively asking for new features, telling us what they need next, and pushing us to keep building. In this business, that kind of signal is everything.

Tyler Sease started working in the steel industry at 14 years old. Fast forward to today, he's the President of Southern Steel Engineers, a firm he built from the ground up specifically to serve fabricators, detailers, and erectors.

At NASCC 2026, we got to chat with him and hear about the journey, what SSE is working on now, and his hot take on where the industry is headed. It's a good one.
