Bio
Stephanie Schafer, APR
One of the greatest attributes I see in Paul is that he is first a teacher to his potential customers. He always takes sincere interest in first understanding the customer's needs, perceptions and questions. Then, he is highly successful in providing them the best solution for their needs. His electrical power generation knowledge is so solid, and his passion for that industry is very high as well. I worked with Paul when I needed a technical resource to help with PR or a sales video. Because not only would he deliver the right story with accuracy, he did so in a way that was easy to understand and entertaining as well. And he had such a great variety of customers who had success with their Kohler generator, to help me showcase the many reasons why backup power was so vital. Finally, Paul is kind, hard-working, collaborative and ethical.

In my dealings with Paul, I have found him to be a truthful and an outstanding individual. I was definitely impressed with the thoroughness and detail put into Paul's work. It was very important to Paul to present the "complete" solution so that there would not be any surprises. Customer satisfaction was not only important for today but for the future as well. I highly recommend Paul and know that whomever he deals with will also experience what it is like to deal with a person of quality.
