“I go into every engagement with a hint of cynicism — that there is no way they can deliver on all that has been promised. The team in Atlanta is a rare breed. From the beginning, they have exceeded all my expectations. Going forward, I will be a champion for them whenever I can.”

Bryan Simpson

Founder and CEO, Big Blanket Co
