"In our 21st century economy those organizations that can combine both highly competitive pricing and unique value added service will be the ones that will dominate. We keep our cost structure and our product procuring side of the business a priority, but we also keenly focus on the needs of the customer, not only from a professional stand point but from a humor and personal stand point. From our dog friendly workplace, to our cookie program, to our company mascots, Henry the Histo-Potamus and Lucy the Lab Tech, our customers want to feel that we are connecting with them, as people, not merely as an account number. We successfully gained over 1000 new customers in 2005, and are confident we will do the same, ultimately using this dual strategy."

vast industry knowledge and at the age of 31 was named CEO.
