“I was initially impressed with Sam's enthusiasm, communication skills, industry knowledge, and professional demeanor when I first met him 10 years ago to represent my firm in the sale of Davis-Standard. Since that time, Sam consistently demonstrated all of those qualities and more while represented another one of my companies, MEGTEC Systems. Sam is reliable, dedicated and eternally upbeat. His ability to calm potential buyers, managers and navigate nuanced sales processes to a successful conclusion is excellent. He also supports himself with an organized and diligent team that provides critical resources to meet all deliverables and timetables. Sam has my highest recommendation, and I am happy to furnish more details to anyone who would like additional information. Phillip Cagnassola, former Chairman of MEGTEC Systems and co-founder of Frasier Capital LLC ”
