My Experience
I am responsible for all aspects of BMH business in the states of Georgia and Alabama. I assist the Eastern U.S. Vice President, President, and Halo Board of Directors in executing strategic business goals. Ultimately I am responsible for the financial viability of the Atlanta operations.
Working at Bastian
BMH is very well organized with top notch leadership, friendly people and the philosophy that the customer comes first with a sense of urgency.
Why do customers come back to me?
Customers continue to come to BMH for projects because of the support team behind the sale. They are able to rely on an array of experts to handle all aspects of their material handling needs.
