This move allows Push greater strategic focus on the firm’s mission to acquire regional independent distributors.

“The new Chairman role provides me the opportunity to place greater emphasis on long-term growth, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships,” said Push. “My role as CEO has been involved with helping create a strong team, cultivating a strong culture, as well as bringing new companies into the LFG Family.  I am incredibly proud of the world class team we are building, which will fuel our future successes.  This transition will allow me to dedicate more of my time to expanding our acquisitions efforts, and focus on strategic growth.
