About Todd S.

I have been working in the equipment leasing/financing industry for over 22 years and enjoy what I do. I like working with small businesses to help them reach their dreams of finally owning their own business, expanding, or simply getting the equipment they need during tough times. Customer service is not a lost art with me—I will call or respond to your email right away, even during off hours and weekends. My goal is to help you and your customers succeed in business! I pride myself on focusing on long-term relationships, strong communication, and following through on my commitments. I do what I say I will do and avoid making promises I cannot keep. I enjoy the challenge of finding new, niche industries that are just taking off or may not be mainstream enough for traditional banks to consider. Helping startups navigate the financing landscape in today\'s challenging environment is particularly rewarding. As a 4th Generation Colorado Native, I embrace the \"Colorado Lifestyle\" to the fullest. I am happiest in the mountains on my mountain bike, with my dogs on a long isolated hike, or skiing and enjoying nature. I have been fostering and rescuing German Shepherd dogs for 8 years, having cared for over 40 dogs. My two current dogs are \"foster failures,\" as I couldn\'t bear to part with them. I am also passionate about CrossFit, having spent 5 years as an athlete, competing for fun, and volunteering as a judge at local and international competitions. Before entering the financing industry, I attended culinary school and worked in that industry—I can cook up a storm! My travels to 19 countries have humbled me in many ways and taught me to appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of Colorado even more. Please connect with me if you own a small business or sell equipment for small business
