He tries to get back to his father’s birthplace, the island of Kefalonia, yearly and enjoys traveling with his wife and two children.

PFG is an exciting place to work because of how willing this team is to find that balance and create win-win solutions. That’s one of the reasons I’ve been here for nearly 20 years.”
