Speakers

Glenn Yocca of US Film Crew

Glenn Yocca, founder and president of U.S. Film Crew, is an expert in window film installations.  In 1993 after attaining a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration Glenn began his career in Pittsburgh, PA  in the window film industry, like many others, as an automotive window tint technician in his own business. With Glenn’s focus of providing exceptional service to his clients, while striving for perfection, his business has evolved into a national company, installing more than 20 million square feet of window film on some of the most prestigious projects in the industry.

Glenn’s passion has always been to provide quality service to his clients by efficiently applying his company’s expertise.  With a commitment to excellence, Glenn continues to be motivated by completing successful projects for his clients through superior execution, creative solutions and on time  implementation. U.S. Film Crew is truly an extension of who Glenn is, and he is as passionate as ever to deliver complete satisfaction on your window film project.

Katie Heldstab of Leona's Ice Cream Sandwiches

Leona’s makes small batch ice cream pints and sandwiches using local dairy and ingredients whenever possible. With the help of a natural enzyme, they make 100% lactose-free ice cream, with an obsession for sourcing vibrant flavors, the creamiest textures and the most interesting combinations. 

Katie’s ice cream obsession started just about the time she developed severe lactose intolerance. Years of trying alternatives simply led to disappointment. Nothing was truly interesting or challenging like what was happening in the world of small batch ice cream and novelties.

When Christa and Katie received an ice cream maker as a wedding gift in 2011 something clicked. In quick succession Katie attended culinary school and the famous Penn State Ice Cream Short Course. With the tools and resources in hand, the couple started making delicious ice cream that every belly can enjoy.
