Patricia Hauswirth, Partner (Finance)

Business consultant, confidant, watchdog, whatever you want to call it - nothing gets by Patti. Sure, when it comes to numbers, she is fierce, but she really would not hurt a fly.

Frank Nicoletta, Partner (Business Strategy)

Property management and erecting large warehouse facilities is where Frank excels. Some would say he was born with blueprints in his hands. Give Frank a vision, and he’ll make it happen.

Chris Dowgos, Partner (IT)

A partner since the very beginning, Chris is a real go-getter. And while he provides IT services and technical support, he’s not afraid to unplug and kick back once in a while.
