Over the last 25 years I have strived to build a culture to create the best customer service possible. It is my goal that each customer feels that they can count on PRIDEWRX to understand and manage their needs 100%. My team and I have always been committed to being responsive, having great communication with our customers and accessible 24/7.

Our in-house leadership team has a vast knowledge that will allow us to work even with the most challenging projects possible. PRIDEWRX is able to help customers increase their sales and profitability with the latest trends in packaging, cost effective materials and efficient project management. Quality assurance is key to our success and that is what has kept us in business since 1969. I am a graduate of the University of Rhode Island and continue to live by the RI coast.
