Yep I know him, couple of people with him when he left Dixie tried to start another company, they got the hell sued out of them...then he landed at Taylor, pretty nice guy actually. I threw them out years before he was there lol. But I did end up buying from a guy that was a little more laid back, and yes he made his one call close with me
Yes. Joe is a good man. One of the best bosses I ever had. He taught me how to really close. There is a lesson in there for all seeking to go independent (in any business). One, be sufficiently capitalized (or the old "120% of nothing" saying will likely ring true ). And two, non-competes are no joke. If someone decides to enforce one, it will stop you in your tracks. I once heard of a group of employee recruiters here in Philly who were forced to set up shop and commute to Harrisburg by train (or two hour drive by car) daily for a year to ride out the waiting period until they could come back home.
