Warren and I go back about 20 years when we were both at Maclean-Hunter Media (then parent of Progressive Grocer, Frozen Food Age, etc.). Over the years I have been hard-pressed to find many people who know more about the food retailing and consumer packaged goods industries than Warren. I have often picked his brain to get his take on issues knowing that he will seen a wrinkle that many others have missed. When it comes to frozen and refrigerated foods, he is simply the best in the business. Above his obvious intellect, Warren is flat-out, a great writer. He communicates in straightforward language that at times is just laugh-out-loud funny. On a personal and professional level, you will always get Warren's best advice even if it is at odds with your own views. He is honest and focused on achieving positive results. In my experience, he usually succeeds.

Warren is a delight to work with. In my role at FMI, I have had a number of interviews with him for Refrigerated and Frozen Food Retailers, and he's very sharp, has great integrity and always does exactly what he says he will do. He does an impressive job at staying on the leading edge of issues for his industry and is a trusted partner for me at FMI.
