He has a very large TEAM and it’s evident that he manages them effectively to move us in the right direction. The progress of GOLFTEC/SkyTrak is reliant on Quinn and the technological advancements that he oversees.”

“There is no one at GOLFTEC pushing the boundaries of what his TEAM is capable of more than Quinn. Bridging GOLFTEC & SkyTrak together quickly must have been one of the biggest challenges GOLFTEC has faced. Without Quinn’s leadership and expert understanding, the deal likely wouldn’t have closed favorably or as successfully. Quinn is deeply integrated with every department at HQ. While he works a little too long and a little too hard, he patiently and empathetically handles department meetings dealing with IMPROVEMENT extremely well. He is improving GOLFTEC more than anyone at HQ.”

Sean was recently tasked with managing and training our new SkyTrak Support TEAM and Sean’s passion for IMPROVEMENT made him perfect for the job. He was able to take on the challenge of hiring, training, and managing 11 new TEAM members. All while still performing the duties of his own job. And it was Sean’s passion for IMPROVEMENT that made all this possible in such a short period of time.
