"This paddle represents a humble beginning. I am grateful for all the pulling and stretching I've experienced. Despite the pain, paddling helped me find and hone my purpose.

 

Every day gave me hope and lead me towards a journey I never thought I could endure. It is made right by the constant and ever-growing support I receive, especially from my loving wife, my children, my family, customers, suppliers and most especially, my extended family: our employees-the people who stood by me since I started “paddling my own canoe." The Lord has declared, “It is my purpose to provide for my people." This revelation is a promise from the Lord that He will provide temporal blessings and open the door of self-reliance.

 

From a paddle yesterday to machines and equipment today, truly A.M. Rieta has grown and is continuing to grow. It may not be the perfect company, but it is the right one. "
