In Poole's eyes, Hayes' passion permeates all aspects of his life, from work to his personal relationships. "He has a high level of compassion and energy, a love of life," says Poole, president of Dome Printing in Sacramento, CA. "He's a man of good character and, most importantly, a good friend."

A people person by nature, Hayes tends to look for the best in individuals. He surrounds himself with quality employees and encourages them to be creative, which allows for personal and professional growth. Profit-sharing enables employees to experience and take more ownership in their work.
