Bio
Ivet S.
Just read an article in the "El Camino Homeless Shelter/ECHO Newsletter" Winter Edition 2016 that made me smile. It featured your Norcast Communications Team, which installed/upgraded ECHO's phones, internet and voicemail system free of cost. Way to make a difference!
Dominic Tartaglia
Having watched grow multiple businesses on the Central Coast I can vouch for the fact that he is a true visionary and a perfect example of a strong leader in our community. Any man that can grow a business is an asset to our community but Jeff has exceeded all expectations and is not only a great businessman and leader but also a local rancher and steward of our local ranch lands.
