Continuing to guide these efforts is our company President, **Jeff Schoon**, **43,** who joined the company in 2010 and will continue to report to me. These moves position Jeff to invest more time on our growth initiatives and strategic priorities of growing our served markets, while building on Dave's financial and operational experience to further leverage his leadership capabilities across the organization. Finally, having worked with Dan for more than 25 years, I'm excited and confident in his readiness to serve as CFO. He knows our business extraordinarily well."
