“I am looking forward to this new beginning and new opportunities where I can continue to build on the relationships I have formed over the years,” Steve Perilstein adds. “I’ve been in this industry since I was 5 years old, riding in the truck with my dad. I am 50 now and plan to continue growing in this industry.”
