Technology is going to drive the future of business in ways we can’t even begin to identify today.

Technology will drive how we deliver to our clients which is exciting because it means we can provide more services than before.
Moving from Memphis to St. Louis for a job transfer. I was recently married, knew no one and had zero family in the area. That was 30 years ago, and I am still here.
