Alex Cohen. My mentor. My dear friend that taught me the structure of not only painting, but how to build proper relationships with the customer and taught me how to run a successful business. Without Alex’s teachings, I would not be the success I am today. I owe him everything. Rest in peace, Alex. You were an inspiration to me and everyone you knew. Rest in peace my friend. 💜 Jeff Popiolek
