Maryanne Stephenson
Partner-in-life.
Maryanne is the love of my life. My wife personifies love and kindness. She sees in me what I often don't. She builds me up. She cares. And she goes above and beyond, especially when I need her most.

Dave Stephenson
Partner-in-spirit.
Seldom a day goes by that I don't think about my late brother Dave. He passed away too soon on February 27, 2019. He lost a 3-year battle with leukemia (AML). Dave and I are identical twins. We did everything together - we were inseparable. We were one! We were best friends. Dave is with me always.
Our culture
Partnerships are built on dialogue. Dialogue is fueled by deep curiosity, genuine concern, and purposeful intent. You don't get to honest dialogue until you can prove you have a trusted relationship and partnership potential (value). You don't get to honest dialogue until you are willing to listen, collaborate, compromise, give, and co-create.
