I got my love from lighting at an early age thanks to my father; he was a manufacturer rep since 1967 and the President of Midwest Lighting. Working with him I learned the importance of good service - always taking care of your customers and looking at work as a way to make new friends. I have been involved in the lighting business for over 20 years.

Goals: Let my light shine and light up the world.
