Mr. Blaskie joined the Company as Chief Financial Officer in April 2001. He was subsequently elected Vice President, Treasurer and Assistant Secretary in March 2006.

Revenue grew significantly during Mr. Blaskie's 25 years with SCI, and the Company has been consistently profitable for the past eight years.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $7.9 million in cash and cash equivalents plus approximately $3.4 million of investments in marketable securities. Additionally, all outstanding debt was repaid in 2024, and the Company continues to be debt free while also investing in new manufacturing equipment to position SCI for continued growth.
