From his initial interview of our executive team and board to the detailed process for the candidates, Jeff showed a consistent commitment to excellence and eventual success. While there were times I certainly doubted, Jeff guided me with reassurance and confidence. I look back at our work together and I am so thankful for finding him. I am fairly certain no other company could have accomplished what he did. I am forever grateful!”
