When
and why did you start the biz?
Support
Services of America began operations in 1997. My mission was
to provide fast, responsive customer service while treating
my customers and employees well. I wanted to take what I knew
and develop it into a successful business.

What's
the toughest part of running your biz?
The toughest part has been getting my business off the ground.
It took me two years to finally see the vision and mission
for my company.
What's
the most fun part?
I
enjoy looking into business development and attracting new
customers. I enjoy working in the sales department.
What's
next on the horizon for your biz?
I
expect it to remain a success and to continue to expand.
What
advice do you have for others?
Take
an experience in life, use it and master it to gain expertise.
I believe that all successful people have suffered through
failure.
Prior
jobs or business or education?
Previously, I had started various businesses in Argentina.
I had little success with them due to Argentina’s astounding
and ballooning inflation rates of 1000 to 5000 percent.
Is
there any one person or event in your life that led you to
go into business for yourself? I
just always had the drive to succeed. That drive made me stronger
and it expanded my dreams for my future and start another
business. I also have a strong belief that overcoming difficulties
can make a person stronger.
