Bio
Stephen Summerill
It has been my pleasure to know Richard H DeMarle (Dick) for more than twelve years, and to have worked directly for him for seven of those years. I can rightful say that Dick is probably the best boss I have worked for during my career. A strong accolade some may so; however, I have always found Dick to be approachable and supportive, as well as possessing the ability to listen to ideas or views, even if he may ultimately disagree with them. Dick is very much a peoples’ person with good interpersonal skills that are backed up by strong operational and general business experience, which all comes together to produce a true leader.
Paul Tritman
Richard is an extremely focused, results oriented professional and has served as a manager, mentor and reference for me for many years. I have nothing but the highest regards for Richard. His leadership aptitude is stellar. I would strongly recommend Richard for any opportunity commensurate with his capabilities, experience and aspirations.
