Working with Dean has been a tremendous opportunity, has he always shares the vision of the company and ensures that we all see our role in the business to affect the vision.
He has taught me many things, but most importantly how to get the desired results from my staff by coaching and mentoring individuals.

A leader like none that I have worked with. Thank you for the support and guidance and more so thank you for getting individuals like me to believe.
