“Jim is a leader in the truest sense of the word and has consistently delivered in operations, sales, profit & growth. He has a unique blend of people, operational and financial skills. He knows how to get results and bring out the best in others.”

“Jim's abilities were best demonstrated as a critical business leader. On virtually no notice, I asked him to take on an assignment to turn-around a struggling business---to stabilize the plant, run the operation, make it profitable, and set it on a course for future growth. In 16 months he accomplished that miracle”
