Last Night I received an email from Bryan Cohen, current President of Touchstone Homes announcing that he was leaving Touchstone to pursue other interests.
After 24 years of affiliation with Touchstone Homes and United General Industries, I have decided to pursue a new, exciting career opportunity. Effective January 2, 2009, I will become President/CEO of Quantum National Bank in Suwanee, where I have served as a Director for 6 years. My decision was extremely difficult, for so many personal and professional reasons. However, this is a unique and compelling career opportunity that I could not pass up; which without my invaluable experience at Touchstone would not have come my way.
I will work with the very talented executive management team of Rick Stein, Jeff Abraham, and Mike Zambri to assure that we have a seamless and effective transition. Touchstone Homes has excellent people, systems and procedures that have helped it earn numerous honors over the years, including: Many Obie Awards by the Atlanta HomeBuilders Association; The 2006 and 2008 Best of Gwinnett Award; most importantly the coveted America’s Best Builder Award for 2007 and the Lee Evans Management Award for 2008. I have complete confidence that, in spite of the challenging business environment we are all experiencing, Touchstone Homes will continue to flourish.
I would like to thank everyone for their support during my years at Touchstone. I wish for the Touchstone Family all the success in the future and will always relish the experiences we’ve shared together.
Bryan Cohen
President
For anyone who has had any association with Bryan during his tenure at Touchstone Homes I know you will want to join with me in wishing him well.
