Clientele Type:
- Affluent Customers—unfortunately, I must limit the number and types of projects I perform annually. My time is limited, due to my provisions in the educational field and training others.
- Specialized Projects—there are times when I see wonderful opportunities in special and unique landscape lighting projects. Therefore, I might consider something in this category outside of the “affluent” type of clientele.
