“Mike is very talented and very capable of managing this company. We have worked together for nearly 7 years and I have the ultimate confidence in Mike’s leadership. Our succession plan is being implemented and is working as designed,” stated Cooper.

Chairman of the Board, James “Tab” Quisenberry, stated, “We wish Lynn well in his retirement. He has left us in a great position for our future.
