Skip Deal – CEO & Owner and Dedicated Leader at Alpha Business Solutions

Greetings! I’m Skip, and it’s a pleasure to share a glimpse into my journey with Alpha Business Solutions.

A Legacy of Dedication: Since joining Alpha in 2005, I’ve followed in the footsteps of our founder, Jim, with a commitment to helping companies discover optimal solutions for their business needs. I thrive on the dynamic challenge of understanding and contributing to the diverse industries our clients represent.

Decades of Expertise: Before becoming part of the Alpha team, I dedicated 20 years to Tropicana Products, Inc., wearing multiple hats in Sales, Marketing, Accounting, Finance, IT, and culminating in several years in management. This extensive experience has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of business intricacies, and I bring that knowledge to every aspect of my role at Alpha.

Balancing Faith, Family, and Community: My priorities center around faith and family. I’ve proudly served as a youth leader in my local church for over three decades and was a board member of Warner University for 15 years. These experiences have shaped my commitment to community service and inspired a philosophy of giving back.

Marathoner, Team Player, and Pinball Enthusiast: On a more personal note, I’ve completed a marathon and several half marathons alongside my wife and Alpha Co-Owner, Sherri. We believe in setting and achieving goals together. In my spare time, I find joy in playing pinball – a quirky hobby that adds a touch of fun to my life.

Devoted to the Golden Rule: At Alpha, we treat our clients the way we want to be treated. Our entire team, under my guidance, is dedicated to following the Golden Rule in every interaction. We prioritize integrity, respect, and a genuine commitment to the success of our clients.

I’m excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and the opportunity to contribute to your business success. Feel free to connect – let’s explore how Alpha Business Solutions can be a catalyst for your growth!

Hello! I’m Sherri, and I’m thrilled to share my journey as an integral part of the Alpha Business Solutions family.

A Journey of Balancing Roles: One of my most cherished roles was raising my two daughters as a stay-at-home mom for 14 years. This experience grounded me and instilled values that I carry into every aspect of my life. After rejoining the workforce as a coordinator for a private school, I found my way to Alpha Business Solutions, where I’ve been able to merge my diverse skills and experiences.

A Decade of Dedication: Since joining the Alpha team in 2012, I’ve played a crucial role in shaping our Client Care System. Drawing on my background in retail management, program coordination, and nonprofit leadership, I’ve been committed to enhancing client care and fostering lasting relationships.

A Family Affair: Being the wife of Skip and daughter of Alpha’s founder (Jim Vinson), Alpha Business Solutions is more than a workplace—it’s a true family business. This unique dynamic fosters a special sense of connection and dedication to our shared vision and values.

Beyond the Boardroom: Now, as an empty-nester, my days are filled with crafting, tending to my garden, and exploring new destinations. My faith in God, dedication to family, and passion for women’s ministry are the cornerstones that guide and fulfill me in everything I do.

I’m excited to continue this journey with Alpha Business Solutions and look forward to connecting with you. Whether it’s enhancing client relationships or sharing stories about life’s adventures, I’m here to make your experience with Alpha exceptional. Let’s embark on this journey together!
