TWR is proud to have the best team in the industry. Not just the Management Team featuredhere, but it’s whole team from top to bottom. TWR has been careful to hire onlyhigh quality team membersand has a 20 year average tenure as a result of a select group of values. The values that have been used by the leadership for building the team are: always be slow to hire, respect every team member, manage how you’d want to be managed, and reward/compensate well. With these values we’ve built a team that is very skilled, very experienced, and a joy to work with every day. They are the best at what they do and they are proud of what they do.

Scott is actively involved at Harvest Bible Chapel in Rolling Meadows, IL where he serves as a volunteer AWANA Leader working with kids. Scott sees himself best suited as a right hand to a successful business owner. If he weren’t at TWR he’d probably be helping another business in this same role or perhaps, he’d be on a perpetual vacation with his family somewhere warmer!

Jim’s work ethic and determination make him an effective problem solver. Combine that with a caring spirit and he’s a prime example of servant leadership at TWR. If he were not working for TWR, he and his family would be intentionally lost somewhere on the Appalachian Trail.
