"I worked for Alan at Interstate Drywall Corp. for 5 years. Alan was an excellent mentor as well as the financial leader of the company. Alan has a great ability to budget and plan for the future of a company. He developed many tools and models that were very effective in planning and tracking the growth of a dynamic company. His attention to detail and his control procedures were key to the financial success we achieved at Interstate. I learned a great deal from my time working with Alan and I have implemented many of those same models and procedures at my current company."
