I wouldn’t ask any of my employees to do anything I wouldn’t do. And I work as hard, if not harder than the rest of the staff, to set an example. I also believe in giving my employees a lot of room to be creative and to express themselves Picture Quote #1

I think you’ve got to keep it simple, keep it fresh. Stay away from all that processed stuff, read the labels Picture Quote #1
