Proudest Moment: Citymark’s 10th anniversary in 2025. We are celebrating our investors, teammates and community for our Cleveland-based start-up.
My Very First Job and What I Learned From It: Paper boy, delivering the old Cleveland Press and Plain Dealer from age 10 to 16 — delivering on my promises to my 64 customers daily. It taught me the importance of accountability and the power of relationships that led to strong bonds with my customers.
