Seventeen years ago I dreamed of starting a company that made people happy. A refreshing concept that would provide me a way to make my living and love it at the same time. That simple philosophy is the driving force behind my company.

Having happy people work for me is the beginning, which is why I have tried to create an atmosphere that is comfortable and fun to work in. if you visit our office at any time you can’t help but notice our welcoming and friendly vibe.

Hey, why not? We all have to get up and come to work. We have the choice to make it whatever we want, and I want happy! There is no reason why we can’t speak to each other kindly and with respect, so we do. I love watching my employees interact with one another. These are truly very good people and I consider them my family.

I knew that making the conscious choice to run the business in this way would translate to business growth, profitability, and the opportunity for my Parkside family to earn a well-deserved living.

This business plan works! My favorite proof is when I hear the praise directly from our customers. Any good business owner feels the same way I do. When we receive this validation from our customers, growth and success is inevitable. Of course, getting up early, working late, and doing whatever it takes to provide the best service is very important as well.

I think it should almost be taken for granted. Physically being there and knowing how to do the job is the reason I thought I could start my business, but making it an absolute pleasure for our customers to deal with us has been the key to Parkside’s success!
