One other man was making facet offers with my purchasers and one other tried to steal my purchasers when he went out on his personal. However this finally obtained higher.
I employed some GREAT technicians; Herbert, Stephen and Ike. Herbert was with me for six years and Stephen (7 years) & Ike are nonetheless with me. I really like these guys.
