I’m honored to serve as President and CEO at Core States Group, and I’m proud of the work we do to create a world where all environments improve everyday life. Our mission is ambitious, but it’s made possible thanks to the dedication of our incredible team, our uniquely integrated service model, and our fundamental commitment to serving our clients, our communities, and our colleagues. I believe that service and collaboration start from the inside out. As President and CEO, I am committed to cultivating a company culture grounded in our values of integrity, service, inclusion, excellence, and innovation. Whether we are working regionally or on a national scale, Core States Group delivers smarter, more seamless results for our clients. We partner with some of the best brands in the world, and it’s exciting to know that most people can’t go a day or two without seeing some of our work. I originally joined Core States Group in 2013, launching the company’s signage division before running its IT, Construction, and Architecture & Engineering departments. It has been extremely rewarding to have a hand in many facets of the company, and to help catalyze our growth from less than 150 employees to more than 500 over the past decade. Prior to joining Core States Group, I founded and ran an IT consulting and software development company, back in the early days of the computing business. I started my career right out of high school, working at a Swiss Farms convenience store in DelCo, PA, and working my way up to managing multiple stores. Some people have called me “self made,” but I’d actually give a lot of the credit to my grandmother – who had a large hand in raising me and who instilled the value of service that I’ve carried with me.When I’m not in one of our company offices, you will likely find me enjoying the outdoors with my wife and sons, playing video games “with the kids,” and rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles.
