Testimonials

"Jeff recruited me to become CEO of Compass while I was a senior executive at American Express. We acquired several family-owned businesses together before the largest company in the industry purchased the combined enterprise. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Jeff again in the future."
Mike Cunningham, CFO of Aeropostale, Inc. (NYSE: ARO)

"My partners and I sold our $60 million Cleveland-based cutting tool business to Mike while he was the CFO of a Kennametal spin-off. The sale process went very smoothly, primarily because Mike was straightforward with us and delivered on all of his commitments."
John Griffee, former co-owner of Strong Tool Co.

"Jeff and Mike took our family-owned business in Michigan through the process of joining with other industrial supply companies from around the country for the purpose of creating a leading industry consolidator. They both bring tremendous perspective to a business with their financial and operating backgrounds."
Rob Carpenter, CEO of Supply North Central Group

"My brother and I started a business with our own money and grew it to $15 million in annual sales before we sold it to Jeff in 1998. Jeff was always forthright in our dealings and someone whom I personally respect and trust."
