Over the years, I have had the privilege of working alongside some very talented people, witnessing the dedication, commitment, and incredible skill that has made this company what it is today. I have seen firsthand the passion and pride that each of you brings to your roles, and it has inspired me to take this leap and become the new owner of our beloved business.

I want to express my utmost gratitude to the previous owners, Dave and Terry Johnson, for entrusting me with this opportunity. Their leadership, guidance, and belief in my abilities have been invaluable, and I am committed to carrying on their legacy of success.

As we embark on this new chapter together, I want to assure you that my vision for the company remains rooted in the values that have driven us forward for the past three decades.
