Personal note

  • Safety and fun while staying grounded, while providing the best customer experience is a great model to strive for and maintain. I always try to convey the message to look at the project like its your own home. if team members enter with that mindset then the ultimate goal of customer satisfaction should be not only achieved but surpassed with precision, care and integrity. Great teams are not built by numbers, but people. The people drive the machine. With the right people, and guidance to the overall initiative or goal, the numbers come.
