Testimonials

From a City Manager
Rob Karlinsey, City Manager, Gig Harbor

In 2008 we used Rod's services to develop a business strategy for Gig Harbor's historic downtown. Rod really knows his stuff. His ear is close to the ground when it comes to commercial activity, both locally and nationally, and we were able to tap into his knowledge as we developed the downtown business plan.

I really value Rod's pragmatic, level-headed approach when it comes to providing business strategies and ideas. He does not tell you what he thinks you might want to hear. He gives you advice based on his knowledge and years of experience. Rod Stevens is truly an expert in his field, and he will serve you well. He knows how to get the job done and deliver a product that is poignant, crisp, and easy to follow and understand.

Rod also takes the time to get to know your city or organization. He does not use cookie-cutter solutions—Rod looks at the unique traits of your community and generates exceptional solutions that would not otherwise have been thought of. We are grateful that Rod Stevens was available to help us with our downtown business strategy, and we look forward to accomplishing the tangible, achievable and measurable goals he identified in our plan.
