letter from the
ceo...
Wow, Spring is really
here! I’m not sure where the time goes, but I
enjoy the crispness of the air and the early morning
sunrises. I hope this new season finds you happy
and healthy in both your business and personal life.
Things here at Reside are
busy, but rewarding, as always! I was humbled to
learn that I’ve been selected as one of four finalists
for the Twin West Chamber of Commerce’s Emerging
Entrepreneur of the Year award. Through the
nomination and interview process, I've had time to
reflect on Reside's accomplishments over the last four
years. Wow - we've come a long way, and we
are only just getting started. Thinking
about that gets me energized for the years
ahead!
I would like to thank my
“Rockin' Team” at Reside, our fantastic clients, and my
family for all of their support. You have helped
us achieve amazing results and will continue to help us
deliver the best in web solutions for
businesses.
Have a great
Spring!
