About James Patten
My specialty is building and maintaining strong Customer Relationships. Cultivating relationships with customers, businesses, and industry professionals has directly contributed to my success personally and professionally. Throughout my career, I have partnered in 2 start up ventures, designed and hosted a radio program highlighting local businesses, engineered integrated security solutions for an Iowa based, central Midwest $100 million security firm, and am currently constructing professional audio, visual, telepresence, and broadcast systems solutions for business, educational, and government clients. My strengths include facilitating resolutions with the goal of ultimate customer satisfaction, while also balancing the goals and objectives necessary for the success of the company. I am a strong communicator, and experienced negotiator, which have proved valuable when engineering, managing, and overseeing projects. I enjoy working with others to help them uncover, develop, and grow their own potential. These opportunities have allowed me to continue to develop and grow my own potential, contributing to my success as well as the success of the organizations I am a part of.
