A person becomes a valued customer after the second service. He worked for PSE&G first out of High School and then worked for his father in law. He wanted to work for himself. He started his own business with the help of his father. He eventually bought out his father in law’s business. His license plate is “Service”. He is proud to have the same employees for over 40 years. He is a Board member of Eva’s Village and his wife is a board member of Oasis.
