If you are looking for a company to take on all the details of your project, look no further. I enjoy solving problems and earning enough trust to be considered a partner, so running my own business was a life goal. My father, who operated an appliance repair store in Savannah, Ga., during the civil rights era, used me early on as his helper and instilled a respect for a strong handshake and the power of your word. #Hospitality #Hotels #Podcast
