Tanner Carlisle
Ken is extremely responsive and a joy to work with! He gets back to me right away whenever I have any questions or concerns and he always goes above and beyond to get you an answer in a timely manner in the event that he doesn't have one for you immediately. It is hard to find good customer service these days, but Ken really does go above and beyond, I appreciate it Ken!

Ken is a very professional colleague. He exhibits a very "can do" attitude. He is able to effectively balance the best interestes of our company with those of the customer. He also has a unique willingness to mediate and help find a resolution to both major and minor issues. Of the field sales personnel I work with on a daily basis, I know that Ken is one that I can seek out for help with any of his customers for any issue. He is just as willing to help with invoice issues as he is with potential sales. Prior to my affiliation with our organization, there was a gap between marketing and field sales. Ken has helped bridge that to form a cohesive partnership between the two divisions.
