"We are somewhat a veteran in the landscape lighting industry after being in business almost 10 years now. Even so, there are always areas of our business that can be improved, and that is when we call Jerry McKay. We’ve known Jerry for a few years now after attending his Summit, and he has become a great friend and consultant for our business. Jerry has visited our offices in Texas twice now for consulting. Each time we get a tremendous amount of insight and information out of his time here. From the minute he steps into our office, he’s gathering information, talking with our team members, and trying to figure out how we operate. Jerry has made great recommendations on how we can grow, become more efficient, and make our business more profitable. Jerry has been in this industry for over 25 years now and has been through it all, and has experienced all of the difficult scenarios we have experienced. If you want to grow your business and learn from one of the top lighting designers in our industry, give McKay a call. "
