Throughout his career he has always held customer service as a top priority. Koebe brings a more technological forward approach to this department, his hopes to make dealing with customer service a seamless event. He believes world class customer service is often the determining factor when customers are looking for a supplier partner. When Koebe is not working he enjoys spending time with his wife and two sons, traveling to their cottage in northern Michigan, craft beer, skiing, playing tennis, and golf.
