Jim was one of ten honorees chosen from a field of over 200 top business leaders at small and middle-market companies. The winners will be recognized at an awards event on Tuesday, Sept. 14.
“Thank you to the Minneapolis/St Paul Business Journal for this recognition. I am honored to be nominated and chosen for doing what I love to do every day – work with our incredible employees and all of our loyal, amazing clients,” Jim explained. “We’re celebrating 35 years in business this year, and I couldn’t be more proud of this company and what we’ve accomplished since our humble start in my garage!”

I’ve seen how much he cares about his employees, his clients and the community, and the incredible responsibility he carries to help everyone be successful.”
