He held steadfast to his values and set forth to accomplish his vision with an emphasis on service excellence. These principles are the foundational pillars upon which Priority Search Inc. has grown and thrived in the staffing industry.

Background
Prior to becoming a Strategic-Partner, I was a Technical Recruiter for MRI for 3 years specializing in Manufacturing, Automotive and Aerospace technologies. Throughout my career, I effectively developed and led teams to meet key performance objectives in diverse, fast-paced and ever-changing economic and regulatory environments.
My broad-based background has taught me that staffing is about much more than putting a body in a position. To drive clients’ success, I apply my experience to: discern operational concerns; review tactics and logistics opportunities to help overcome workforce and hiring challenges; and be a consultative partner.
