REASON TO SERVE
My grandfather, Gene Costello, for the past few years, had wanted our company to get more involved and give back through GHAR. As most know, he recently passed away in April. When a member of GHAR leadership called to ask me to apply for the board of directors, this was a great opportunity to honor his legacy, give back, and help our local association move forward and grow
