Who We Are...
Thinkers . Tinkers . Renegades
That's our Apostles' Creed. It sets the tone and stage for everything our vanguard group of companies does across all lines of services delivery and product development. Doing the Right things Right is the catalyst that drives the "Whats", "Whys" and "How" we view and do things. Our business posture starts with Ardour and ends with Zeal.

Thinkers...
We love the Ancient Greek philosophical Tabula rasa approach to keeping our brains alive. It's not just about asking ourselves the question "Why?!", it's about challenging ourselves to move forward by asking "Why Not?!". Our mix of professionals combine a healthy dose of wisdom that [hopefully] comes with age, plus a few shots of exuberance that [often times] comes with youth. We seek the science behind bedazzling headlines. Our goals and outcomes from concept to completion are for solutions that are practicable and feasible; approaches that embrace core principles of business - while challenging preconceptions and shaking irrationally held truths.
Tinkers...
History repeats. Not everything is truly new under the sun. Some things truly work, work well and are best left untouched - and we think that's okay. There's also an infinite number of new ways to re-design, engineer, create and re-purpose old things. From consumables to renewables, programs, community service initiatives and everything in between - we analyze it, tweak it, sometimes put a new spin on it, and make it for this era and generation next.
Renegades...
We'd also like to think we're a different kind of company. While we may please everyone some of the time, we never aim to please everyone all of the time. It's both a fallacy and a fool's errand - and it goes against our creed.
We won't always politely turn the other cheek. Sometimes we will suspend the pomp and circumstance of political correctness and yes- at times we may even be as warm and fuzzy as sandpaper. Book-Smarts in concert with Street-Smarts may ruffle a feather or two.
Not everyone will choose to embrace a team that dares to un-constipate its thinking, to think differently and to think beyond. We think that's okay. What we also think is okay is to question, to re-examine views and norms [head-on, sideways and even through different lenses]. We have the intestinal fortitude to know that some things in life turn out to be comforting lies, while others are irrationally held or inconvenient truths.
People, Planet and Profit is not an unholy trinity. These three things can coexist and coalesce now and in the future without disregard for corporate or social responsibility.
We love what we do and strive to have a positive impact on our customers, the economy and communities here in the United States and around the globe. We also honor the fundamental decorum or deportment an atmosphere demands.
From ideas to enterprise, our insatiable thirst for knowledge and product development drives our desire to provide services, products and solutions that work for our customers and those they serve.
