While I can’t say I’ve seen it all, after more than 30 years in this business, I’ve seen quite a bit of it.
I’ve been blessed to see our company continue to head in a positive direction for almost its entirety. There have been a few lackluster years, such as when the whole country experienced an economic downturn, but, in general, the company’s always prospered. In the midst of this adventure, there have been many times when I saw movements, trends, or perceived disruptions that seemed like they may — or flat out claimed they were going to — put us all out of business.
