Monte and Avery Lipman, Jim Roppo, and the executive team share this sports mentality and competitive nature, which really resonated with me. I’m the type of guy who’s willing to run through a wall to be number one and be the best at everything I do. So, we we are on the same page. I live by the personal motto, ‘Each new day is a chance to be great,’ and Republic is the best place to actualize that.
