The end result was a win-win for both ASAP and Hudson Ferry. Thanks to all the guys at Matrix, but a special thanks to Bill Kerkam, Jeff Moore and Bruce Smith for all of their hard work. They were tireless in their efforts to ensure we were well represented and provided us with sound advice throughout the entire process."" Timmy Deroche, CEO - ASAP Industries, LLC
