The internal appointment of Stephen Frazier and Jeff Roney to Co-Chief Operating Officers signifies the vision of this family-owned company that's been in business since 1945.

"The Tarter Ownership Group is pleased to announce the appointment of Stephen Frazier and Jeff Roney to the position of Co-Chief Operating Officers to lead Tarter into our next phase of growth and evolution," said owner Ann Tarter.
