I worked for Max for three years at Myers Industries. He had his hands full as Director of Communications and Investor Relations but managed to deliver exceptional results for everything he handled. Of all of Max's great qualities, his best is his desire for perfection. He is intelligent and as demanding of his team as he is of himself.
