About F.A.C.T.S. - History and Goals
Finishline Advanced Composites
Founded by James Porreco in 1999, “Finishline” has been a leader in Prototyping,, Development, Manufacturing and Specialized (One of Kind) projects in Carbon Fiber and other Advanced Composite materials. James is known in professional circles as “Dr. Carbon Fiber” and has been featured on the Discovery Channel ™ program “Prototype This” ©. James and Finishline have worked in development for companies and clients ranging from Gentex™ to Steffano Motors™. Finishline prides itself in taking the Aerospace level approach to applications for a full range of clients and industries.
Finishline Advanced Composites Training Schools
In 2008, James saw an opportunity in providing real technichal training to the average person who is trying to become knowledgable and enter into the industry making custom Carbon Fiber and other Advanced Composites projects and components. Traditionally, most people enter the industry through “on the job” training in speciallized facilities where they are not exposed to all aspects of process development and technical application. James has partnered with Craig Hassler to develop a standardized curriculum that would allow any person to enter the industry with a broad range of skills.
After completing all the F.A.C.T.S. core currculum, it is our belief that our graduating students will be able to enter any industry using advanced composites, develop their own composities projects or even open their own shop.
