Testimonials

  • "During my 20+ years in the management of supply chain relationships, I was privileged to work with a number of incredibly talented and charismatic individuals but few had the vision, passion and drive of Joe. Although Joe was technically in “Sales” his forte, in my opinion, was relationship building through partnering and collaboration that was built upon a foundation of ethics and strong business practices."

This group were senior leaders in a variety of areas. What made Joe, in particular, stand out is his desire to continuously learn about communication and people skills.

  • My highest admiration for Joe is based on his authenticity in his sales approach, his family, and his friendship. I always knew how he was feeling, and we shared often about our families and personal challenges. However, he was always the consummate professional. I expect that Joe will carry that same authenticity and professionalism into any future endeavors.
