“Tom has been instrumental in the growth and success of my business.”
“I met Tom professionally in 2004. Over the course of the past decade I watched him grow his company from a locally owned business to a company with 25 domestic locations and an international presence. Witnessing his professional growth was impressive but more extraordinary was Tom’s willingness to treat his employees, and vendors as equals. As such his staff was well trained, professional and enjoyed working for him. Through the years I have been lucky enough to get to know Tom personally as well. Tom has been instrumental in the growth and success of my business. His ideas and suggestions are well thought through and cutting edge. I consider him to be a friend, confidant and important asset to my business development”

Both in his company and as our advisor, Tom has an ability to quickly understand a complex situation and provide actionable input on a path forward. He’s faced many of these situation himself when growing his business and he brings this experience to his advisory relationships.

As a technology business, he also understands how technology can transform a business – the risks involved in technology and how technology can give a business a huge competitive advantage.

Not only does Tom have a deep understanding of how businesses work and grow, he’s also full of the sort of wisdom and innovative thinking that one doesn’t learn in business schools but rather through life experience.
