We look forward to working with Dan and supporting Serenity and Fastrac through the upcoming years".
"I am excited to be partnering with CMC", Sardi said. "Their focus on investing for the long-term, along with their operational strengths and appreciation for family businesses, distinguished them as I evaluated the best fit for these businesses.
