Jeff and his prior team delved deep to understand our complex acquisition. Embracing the sense of urgency, they crafted a bespoke credit product that helped get the deal over the finish line. Over the years, our business grew with corresponding profitability and as conventional financing became more available, we never forgot what Jeff’s team provided in the earlier days of our ownership weathering economic turbulence and seeking growth. Jeff and I are long-standing personal and professional friends, which speaks to our mutual emphasis on the importance of relationships.
