Last Tuesday evening several area business professionals were honored for their efforts in the field of sales and marketing by SMEI of Akron (Sales & Marketing Executives International.) Sage Lewis of Sagerock.com, Shirl Matz of Matz Accounting Group and Chuck Obendorf of Step2 were among those honored that evening. This is a photo of me with Shirl Matz, President of Matz Accounting.
