I also expect full honesty in return. This includes constructive criticism so that I can help make American Peak better for you, as well as everyone else.
Respect:
In my opinion, everyone will receive full respect in every regard. However, Respect is a two-way-street, and must be reciprocated and fulfilled on both sides of any relationship, otherwise it may be lost. I respect your time, money, & willingness to support my business. I also have major respect for all of my equipment, and try to keep it in tip-top shape, this being mechanically & cosmetically. I trust that you guys will also love & respect all of my equipment as if it were your own. I grew up with the standards of "if you ever borrow something from somebody, return it in better condition than when you received it".
Communication:
I believe communication is the most important thing in life. Communication with ourselves, our thoughts, our spouse, our family, our coworkers & boss, etc. Without proper & effective communication, Any & All relationships will be poor, or even fail. I will do my absolute best to have fully honest, kind, fast, & helpful communication with all of my customers, and I also expect the same in return. Whether you break something on an item, need to move rental dates, or whatever the topic may be, I fully respect & require adequate communication between all parties.
American Quality:
Small American businesses & local jobs I think are very important to support for our fellow American citizens. Not only is it a duty to boost the American economy, I think it is a moral action we all need to take as well. With this being said, I will try my best to fully support & work with 100% American Made companies; even if this does mean paying a little more money, or sacrificing some convenience.
I also want to thank you all for supporting my small American business, & I can't wait for you guys to witness all of the wonderful things I have planned for our local communities & the US everywhere!!
Keep supporting & loving others, helping neighbors, & being a great human being who stands up for your beliefs!!
