Tom Nickols, SCORE counselor, and former president/owner of Flex Metal Components and vice president of marketing for McGraw Edison, says "I enjoy working with small business people in their own office or facility. This gives me the opportunity to really look at their operation and make recommendations based on my hands-on experience. There's a lot of satisfaction in helping small business people reach their goals."
