Tell us about your recent accomplishments.
My commitment to the community has always been a priority. As in the past, we are supporting Easter Seals with a special gift to be auctioned at their Crystal Ball. This year, we are the Diamond Sponsor for the Hartford Symphony’s gala. I think that giving little to many often means more than giving a lot to a few.
Therefore, I like to give something to all of the community organizations and schools that request our help.
I am active with the Rotary Club and Simsbury/Granby Chamber of Commerce. Also, I’m a recipient of the Paul Harris Award from the Rotary International.
What are your family values and how do they contribute to your business success?
When a new associate starts with my organization, I tell them that the golden rule is our guide. Put yourself in your customers’ shoes, and then treat them the way you would like to be treated.
Where do you see your business in the next five years?
We recently added stone carving, 3D computer-assisted design and 3D printing to our custom-design department.
Do you have a business succession plan?
In the future, I will continue to work and hope to reduce my hours in the store. This way, my wife and I can travel more and spend more time working on our farm.
What are your guiding principles?
Honesty and integrity are my guiding principles.
