Bio
Pat Jarvis
James has worked for me for the last 3 years and has done an excellent job. His relationship building skills are incredible! I am continually amazed at the number of people, specifically architects and designers, that he not only knows on a business level, but that he actually has a personal relationship with them. He understands the luxury plumbing industry very well and would be an asset to any company.

Hello! I just wanted to share a recommendation for James Manu. We worked together for the NKBA Rocky Mountain Chapter Board in developing the marketing plan, the implementation strategies and the resultant systems for communications, of which James was the VP. I was impressed with James' attention to detail, ability to get work done in a timely manner, and maintain a great sense of humor, despite being a busy guy. His dedication to the NKBA, or to any organization or company, is parallel to none. I highly recommend him for a position in which developing partnerships or relationships is important. He is a creative thinker and a great communicator. His fun attitude will be an asset to any team environment. James - wish you all the best and know that the right company will find you soon. -ek
