Experience
President & CEO
Dec 2001 — Present
I have served as president since joining the company on December 13, 2001. Since 2001 the company has completed 14 acquisitions, grown employment from 38 to 93, grown our branch count from 3 to 9 and has grown sales from $11.2 to $60.7 million (end of 2022). From 2003 to 2017, Centro has been selected 5 times as a finalist in the Memphis Business Journal Small Business of the Year program. In 2012 Centro was selected as the Small Business of the Year in the less than 50 employee category. Centro has been on the List of the Top 100 Privately Held Companies in the Memphis Business Journal since 2013. In 2015 Centro was honored by the Memphis Business Journal with the Pacesetter Award as one of the fastest growing private companies in Memphis for the period of 2012 through 2014. In 2016 as president of Centro I was selected by the Memphis Business Journal as Executive of the Year. From 2020 through 2022, I restructured the leadership team at Centro to create a senior staff to lead the major operational functions of sales, marketing, customer service, inventory, pricing, IT, finance and eCommerce. In May of 2023, Centro was once again a finalist for the Memphis Business Journal small business of the year in the Large category. We were also honored by the Memphis Business Journal with a Fastest Growing Companies Award.
