"With Jim as a mentor, an outstanding management team and 135 dedicated employees, I'm able to step into this role with confidence and excitement for what's ahead," said Gibbs, who names the firm's continuous growth as his number one objective. "I plan on spending every day doing all that I can to deliver results for this firm the way it has always delivered for me."
