Testimonials
Randy R, President - Services
As the President, I recruited Tom to help our fast paced company navigate our doubling in size due to acquisition. To had to create a structure for HR, staff accordingly, and execute. Tom is very resilient and patient. He has a strong sense of ethics that should be applauded. Tom handled the daunting task of culture change for a dozen locations and 1800 employees in stride. He was always pleasant to work with even when we didn't totally agree on a topic or policy. His vision and business insight made him become part of the team very quickly. I would recommend Tom as he was the best HR executive I have worked with in my 40-year career.
