It’s been an exciting path so far as the company is getting ready to open a third branch in Delaware. Mike attributes this growth to unmatched customer service and a commitment to always doing the right thing. He aims to expand into additional territories to create never-ending opportunities for employees to grow professionally and to provide more and more customers with exceptional results.

Bill believes that leading by example is the most effective way to manage. His actions show the team that there is no job beneath anyone. He is always ready to lend a hand and go above and beyond for his customers. Bill earned a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from the University of Delaware.
