Our approach to building businesses is simple: to own and manage a diverse set of operating companies who outperform their competition through strategic planning, disciplined investment, and operational measurement. We allow our operating companies to run autonomously while partnering with them in goal setting.  This approach ultimately helps them reach their committed results. We centralize only those functions that make economic sense, such as group health or other operational activities that will add value. The foundation of everything we do is our people.  We seek to attract, hire, and retain the best possible operational teams.  We strive to help our employees achieve their personal goals and provide an environment that allows everyone to maximize their potential, thus contributing to the overall success of the company.
