What owners, operators, and advisors say.

The bottom line is, without George, we would have never sold the company for what we sold it for, and we would have never grown into who we are. He showed me a lot. I’d go home at night and tell my wife, ‘George told me something I never knew.’

George solved a lot of problems and put the business in shape to be sold. He was such an important piece of this, because the investment bankers, all of them, knew they could rely on what was being said. The family could back away, and George could give them everything they needed.

He really took it to the next level, and without him, I don’t know that that’s even possible. I can’t say more about the man. Integrity, doing the right thing, honest, trustworthy. I mean, over the top.

As the Relationship Manager of a long-term client of Valley National Bank in the distribution of building supplies, I witnessed George’s impact firsthand from the day he was hired as President in 2019. With his industry knowledge, George brought stability and modernization that turned what was a good company into a great company. The financial results speak for themselves, with revenue nearly doubling into the low 9 figures and profitability increasing even more during his short time with the company. His impact directly led to a highly successful sale of the company in 2024.
