We’re excited to have him a part of our team.”

“I am excited to join the team at West Star and to continue to build on their service capabilities and facilities to key contracts and strategic growth initiatives,” said Farischon. “West Star is well-positioned for continued success, and I am excited to be part of this industry-leading management team.”
