The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

Karla Mazel calls her husband’s garage magical. Broken tables and chairs enter, Dan Mazel performs some sleight of hand, and the items reappear amazingly restored.

"He’s really talented," she said.

It was this wood-working flair, along with the help of family and friends, that has launched Dan Mazel into a new business venture – Stonefly Studio http://www.stoneflystudio.com/ . With inspiration from his son, Isaac, Mazel now crafts wooden fly boxes with laser-engraved designs on the front and back.
