Patriot Inventory is the Name Twenty-two Year Army Veteran Michael Powell Has Chosen as His Business Name

AVON, IN, August 10, 2012

Hartman Inventory Systems launched a contest on Memorial Day to give away a free business package to a deserving veteran. While there were many truly outstanding applicants, once all entries were reviewed in great detail one person stood head and shoulders above the rest.

Founders Mike and Cindy Hartman wanted to do something for a veteran to say thank you for his or her service. "As business owners ourselves and knowing the sense of pride in owning one's own business, we wanted to help a veteran have that opportunity. After much thought, we made the decision to hold a contest to give away a business package to express our appreciation," explained Hartman. "We were blown away by Michael Powell's extensive service to his country as well as his impressive credentials. After talking to him, we knew he was a perfect fit."

Michael Powell's military career began immediately after high school when he enlisted in the United States Navy. He separated from the US Navy in 1995 to attend Murray State University, earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice. He received his commission in the Army in the Military Police Corps in 1998, and after 22 years of serving our great nation, Michael retired from the Army and now calls Bennington, Nebraska, his home.

"We chose the name Patriot Inventory to represent my careers with the United States Navy and Army, as well as the opportunity that being a veteran presented to me. I am grateful for this opportunity that the Hartman's have provided for me," stated Powell. "My wife Tricia and I have wanted to begin an inventory business for a long time."

The Powell's know first-hand how important a home inventory is. During a home break-in, several of their personal possessions were stolen. When filing the insurance claim, they realized they weren't prepared for the unexpected. Several possessions were not replaced because they forgot about many of the items. Additionally, there was no documentation to prove ownership of some of the other items they knew they owned. They learned the hard way of the necessity to have a thorough record of the contents of a home or business.

Michael and Tricia are now living their dream of helping others prepare for the unexpected, as owners of Patriot Inventory LLC. Michael concluded, "My military experiences have taught me that you have to be prepared for the unexpected. Hartman Inventory Systems is a business package that will allow me to help people do that. I intend to take advantage of their knowledge and leverage that experience. You can always learn from someone who has been there. The support I have received and will continue to receive will help me meet my personal and business goals."

Hartman added, "Michael's military service is exceptional, and his personality and attitude told me he has what it takes to be a successful business owner. We are pleased to have him as a member of the Hartman Inventory Group."

Patriot Inventory LLC provides personal property inventory services for business owners, home owners and renters in Douglas County, Nebraska.
