"There is little in life that gets me as excited as when having the opportunity to work with people who are so incredibly amazing at what they do. And to me, amazing isn't just having talent, but it's a timeliness, energy, an ability to make things happen. . .when they decide it's time to happen.

You both bring such incredible energy to people like me. It's energy like yours that sets the tone for people like my staff. I don't think they would have believed me if I had to sell this one on my own. but the presence, energy, creativity and talent that you brought was what ultimately made this happen. I am now very proud to bring people to our business home.

My team can now be proud of the space in which they work and in the end, they can continue to be their true and best selves. Much like both of you."
