After watching fellow car audio professionals jump in and help people in the health care field, Joe Loschke, who grew up in Parachute, is spending as much time as he can each day producing face shields for hospitals on the Western Slope and across Colorado.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was kind of inspired \u2014 there was a group of guys from the car audio industry that said we have the tooling and the experience with these materials to mass produce these shields,\u201d Loschke said.<\/p>\n

He ran across the idea on Facebook, where others in the business were sharing the plans and details of how to manufacture PPE products.<\/p>\n

\u201cI looked at them, and started pricing out material, and reached out to a friend at Valley View Hospital in Glenwood to see if they could use them and if it would be helpful,\u201d Loschke said.<\/p>\n
