We’ve set some high goals for Commerce Gate in the coming years. Jeff will be a guiding force as we seek to reach them all."

"It’s great to be here," Southworth said. "Commerce Gate is an exceptional company with numerous options for program and pay-site operators. I can’t wait to begin helping them gain an even stronger foothold in the ‘biz.’"
