About Me: My greatest business strengths are the people I work with, the wonderful customers who honor us with their business and the unique and affordable product lines we offer.
The best advice I’ve ever received: Sales is truly just great service. If we can help a customer identify a want or a need and then we can solve that need with a product that the customer loves, we will be remembered.
Why did you choose this particular business? After 30 years in banking I wanted to do something more creative.
My inspiration: God first and foremost. I am also greatly inspired by the other business owners who make our downtown area so special.
