To give you a window into Cam’s approach to leadership here are a couple of his more famous quotes: “Our customers really are strategic partners. We succeed when they do. That type of strategy and thinking made a huge impact on me,” and “I never want us to lose the culture of treating each other within the organization like family and team members because teams have common goals and win championships. Our common goal is to satisfy our customers and help support their operations.”
