An Interview with Gregory Poole, Jr.

A.E. Finley was a true father to his men; treating them all as his equals and keeping them as happy as possible while they worked under him. He was also a very determined man. Once he set his mind to doing something, he would go all in to do it and it would get it done. Our friend Mr. Gregory Poole, a man who knew of Mr. Finley well, talks about Mr. Finley’s personality, business success and the impact Mr. Finley had on his family.
