Mr. Wagenhals continued, noting that “our Board, management team and shareholders will experience the same excitement in having Richard as a part of our team that I have over my 30yr business experience with him. He is a visionary with decades of leadership experience, excelling in everything he has done in his professional career and personal life.”
