About Us
~
We're a lot like you...
~
We've caught the Zero-Dark Thirty flight to make that customer presentation
~
We've stayed late and missed the soccer game because we were working on the 'next big idea'
~
We've sweated bullets pulling together the quarterly financials for the Board of Directors meeting
~
We've put on a hairnet and frock and jumped on the production line to ensure the new SKU was made and shipped to the customer
~
We've celebrated new distribution 'wins'... and agonized over de-listings
~
We've marveled at the work-ethic and dedication of the people we've met on our journey
~
We've been frustrated... defeated... ready to give up...
~
But we've stuck with it... because we love this crazy business.
