We’re growing like crazy – expanding our office space in the Texas office to accommodate and adding new faces like it’s our job. Because… well, it is. So this week we’re welcoming new additions to the sales team and we’ll let you in on a bit about them so you can get to know who they really are, because behind the Jedi-like concentration and undying work ethic…. we hire some pretty cool people.
