Experience is not always the kindest of teachers, but it is certainly the best.

FOUNDER
 

Growing up in West Virginia, my father taught me the importance of listening, looking at a challenge creatively, and demonstrating initiative. He emphasized showing character and integrity while working in ways that benefit others. I've been fortunate in my work to lead rapid-growth, multiple-location businesses where we've built great teams. The team that makes up Bridge Retail Services makes me proud every day with their relentless pursuit of excellence and drive to make every customer happy on every job.

Chicago is sweet home. Like my partners my background is retail. And as we know, retail is detail. We're not big on titles here at Bridge, but if we were I suppose I'd be the CEO (Chief Execution Officer). If you want to know that your project is being managed as closely as you would manage it yourself then I'm your guy. And if you want to learn about solutions rather than just issues, then I'm your guy for that, too. I consider it my job to make your job easier. And to make you feel confident that every detail of your project is being taken care of at retail. Done right and reported right now.
