A U.S. Air Force veteran, Don grew up working in his father’s dental lab. Once he completed his military service, he returned to his work in the lab. After a few years, he made the decision to open his own refinery.
Don worked in a backyard shed, running the operation alone, for 8 years. As the business grew, he hired family members to assist him. Today, the business employs 35 people and is based in a 15,000-square-feet facility.
In his spare time, Don enjoys cooking, eating, golfing, traveling, fishing, and boating.
A Chicago native, Darlene began working in a dental lab in 1983. She poured models and picked up and delivered cases. In 1984, she moved to California and was employed in the electronics industry. She soon realized dental was her calling, so she returned to Chicago to work for her previous employer at the dental lab. When that business closed, she opened her own lab.
Darlene joined Atlantic Precious Metal Resources as a sales rep covering parts of the Midwest and Southeast in 1996. In 1999, she and Don Mappin were married. After the birth of her second child, she gave up her sales territory to focus on the company's administrative and financial needs.
In her spare time, Darlene enjoys traveling, vacationing, watching her girls at dance competitions, entertaining, great food and wine, fun jewelry, shopping, and golfing.
