Dispatch: The Sum of Our Experiences

2015 was a great year for me. I was fortunate to travel to Nashville, Prague, Boston, Kansas City, NYC, and Portland all in one year. I remember each experience and treasure each discussion I had along the way. If I saw you on the road this year, thanks for your support!
I'm taking a break to review and rest up for 2016. I have several exciting announcements to share soon, so stay tuned. See you in January!
