What were your inspirational or motivating factors to starting your own business in Navy ship repair?
My Father is a successful entrepreneur and watching him grow his business over the years, was exceptionally appealing for me. He always observed committed integrity and quality throughout his organization, while his teams were continuously trained in the latest and optimal state-of-the-art technology as they grew and expanded their client services. I wanted to organize something I created and grow it into a highly specialized company both internally and externally. I stalwartly believe in maintaining the passion employees bring to their jobs. The proper treatment of employees and customers were my principal motivations then and remain completely in place today. Maintaining top-quality performance in the execution of all facets of our engagements, have been present from our organization’s inception.
How did you come up with the name STANDARD and what were the reasons behind this selection?
From the beginning, I was committed to establishing complete customer trust in STANDARD. I thought about some of the greatest business leaders from history. Rockefeller came to mind with his creation of the STANDARD company. He did it the right way from the very beginning and I was dedicated to do nothing different. STANDARD became our name and brand to clearly represent we are the STANDARD of performance and excellence in all engagements and internal operations. We endeavor to be the GOLD STANDARD customers and community recognize and fully respect with confidence and unwavering trust.
Will you give us a few points about your organization’s operating and employee environment you provide at STANDARD?
