My Commitment to You

Throughout a career in merchant payments, I have developed a family of experienced and knowledgeable colleagues that stretch across all aspects of the industry. I am firmly rooted in the belief that everyone should have the benefit of making informed decisions. My mission is to make sure you have that opportunity when it comes to your merchant payments.

Understanding which options are best for your company's specific needs is a daunting task. The major players in payment processing today are publicly traded companies. Sadly, their primary objective is not really you...it is generating revenue from you. Most merchants don't have the luxury of having a Payments expert in house and existing staff is stretched to the limit, which leaves a window of opportunity open to be exploited. Sometimes you just want an objective opinion, and I can be that resource for a fraction of the cost.
