FORT WAYNE - Jeff McCall's world was knocked off its axle the day after Christmas in 2007.
That's when the Wells County man discovered his production-supervisor position at Ossian Smoked Meats was eliminated.
"I went through a lot of emotions in about three seconds," he said. "Questioning, anger, concern."
Next came 18 months of job interviews that never produced a job offer.
McCall decided the only person he could depend on for a job was himself. Using knowledge from a past job installing and maintaining heating and air conditioning systems, the 59-year-old founded the duct-cleaning business Duct Doctors in June.
