“I have very much enjoyed working for Rich these past seven years. Under his tutelage, I have learned many important lessons, but one that seems to stand out the most to me is learning the art of being flexible. I love strategy. Games such as Stratego, chess, and Risk have always been favorites, but I never truly understood the concept of 'every plan is born to die' until I began my journey with Rich. He taught me that while having a very solid strategy is important, adapting that plan to changing circumstances is just as important. I look forward to continuing to grow both professionally and personally under his leadership.” - Kimberly Clark, Vice President of Sales and Marketing
