We are also deeply grateful to Mike Recca for his financial leadership all these years; we have relied on both of these men during some trying times and they did not let us down. A good CFO is a CEO’s right hand and I personally can’t be thankful enough for the dedication of both Scott and Mike to the whole Air Industries family. I am pleased that they both are still people I can count on in their new roles.”
