Richard Maass, Owner started the business at 26 years old. In 3 years I will be 50 and its time to pass the torch to the next leader, the next inspiration.
In my time in this industry I have seen many changes. I have seen the industry move and change. I have seen clients come and go, and come back. I have witnessed the Liberal Party of Ontario seek to destroy the industry and seen it rebound and recover. I have seen 6 droughts and 3 very wet and cold years. I have seen my clients grow up, seen their families grow, seen them prosper. I have seen companies too come and go.
