I hired Rick soon after I became President to help me get my team aligned and executing our top priorities. Previously we were inconsistent and lacked a common approach to operating and growing our business. 1 year later I'm pleased to say that, our managers know and are achieving their quarterly priorities, our cash flow and operating margins have improved, our culture is more positive and I'm more confident in our ability to achieve our goals. I'd recommend Rick to any business leader who wants to improve and grow their business.

Shortly after I completed a leveraged management buyout and bought the company in 2013, I engaged Rick to help me execute our growth plans. Our team worked with Rick for 2 years from 2013 to 2015, and still follow and use many of the tools he taught us. We can attribute our 250% growth in revenue and EBITDA improvement from nil to 15%, during that 2 year period, to following the fundamentals he taught our leadership team. We still to this day use many of the lessons and exercises that Rick taught us in people and leadership development, top-grading, following the road map to executing our strategic plans and implementing actions to support our core values and core purpose. We should end 2018 at a revenue that is more than 8X our 2013 revenue and are on track to exceed $200 M in 2019 with a very healthy EBITDA. Again, it all started with the right strategy, executing that strategy with the right people aligned to our core purpose, all of which was set in motion by the coaching and lessons that our team had with Rick. I for one have benefited greatly personally and financially from Rick’s guidance, and I believe he could make a similar impact on other Entrepreneurs and business leaders.
