The addition of the talents of Jim and J.B. positions us to duplicate in the Midwest the success we’ve enjoyed on the East Coast. Combining the operational and sales talents of the Capuanos with the financial resources and wide-ranging capabilities of the Phoenix Group will allow our new operation to continue to exceed customer expectations.”
