Harvey Silverman

Harvey joined Pellucid in 2005 having worked for several golf technology companies who failed to deliver to his clients what they promised. Looking for something that provided better, measureable value to golf course operators, Harvey joined us and created our Sharper Edge Marketing and Voice of Local Golfer survey services. Lessons learned motivate Harvey to provide exceptional service with knowledge gained from experience and use of Pellucid's tools.
