When One Door Closes, Another Opens

The foundation of my entrepreneurial journey took root in Western New York in 1993. Back then, I was fortunate to forge a lasting partnership with Advantage Co., leading to the creation of AP Professionals (AP). Today, AP remains a vital presence, expanding under its original brand and reimagined through new entities. Our business model was straightforward: harness the outstanding resources of Advantage while charting our own course. Recently, in 2024, I made the decision to retire from AP—a company we built from the ground up with many remarkable people. This choice came not with regret but with a renewed sense of purpose and freedom. Stepping away from something I dedicated nearly half my life to isn’t about letting go; it’s about knowing when to embrace what’s next. I feel more energized than ever, excited for the journey ahead with Kreuz Business Development.

AP’s platform set benchmarks in staffing, IT professional services, software development, cloud solutions, platform modernization, and staff augmentation—driving innovation and excellence in each vertical we entered. The ethos across those brands and partnerships has always been clear: navigate skillfully, innovate consistently, and ultimately lead in our chosen fields. Bravo to my former and current partners. The future is as bright as ever—time to put on some shades.

Thank you,
