Bio
Amy Cote
I had the pleasure to work with Michael for one year when I was managing the Lawn Decor category at Commerce. His knowledge and understanding of the industry and his product line are excellent. He brought a wealth of knowledge to execute a successful program at Commerce. Michael communicates very effectively, is attentive to detail and meets deadlines. I have found him to be extremely pleasant to work with; he exudes great professionalism in this work. Michael brings tremendous value to business partnerships and is a huge asset to any organization.
Gordon McElroy
Mike and his entire company were very helpful when my duties moved me to being the buyer for their line of decorative landscape products. I am more of a tool and nuts and bolts guy, but Mike was able to provide a lot of background and ideas to help with the purchasing of their products and the marketing to our customers. Even though we no longer directly work together, we stay in touch-that's the mark of a strong business partner. I look forward to working with Mike again. College football fans will really understand this because Mike and most of his team are Michigan fans and I'm a second generation Ohio State Buckeye!
