entrepreneur…finding ways to succeed in a competitive marketplace,
never taking anything for granted, and personally taking care
of clients when needed. With 20 years of experience as an
entrepreneur and sales executive, Michael brings a multitude
of assets to the CBR team and clients. Michael has served
the industry association (NAPEO) in various capacities during
the years, and holds his contractor’s license.
