Employee Check-In
Then & Now
Meet Tom
Tom Pertzborn, Senior Project Manager with our Healthcare Division, has been with JP Cullen since 1996 starting as an intern:
“Many things have changed since I started with JP Cullen. Fax Machines were the modern technology, my first cell phone looked like I was calling in an air strike, and JP Cullen was not even half the size we are today.
I started with a group of 6 interns which was the largest amount of interns JP Cullen had hired prior to that time.
Over the last 20 some years I have been lucky enough to work with three generations of Cullen’s.”
