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 and I 92.9kb - trail walking](https://extendedimpact.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Dave%20and%20I%2092.9kb%20-%20trail%20walking.jpg?width=669&height=500&name=Dave%20and%20I%2092.9kb%20-%20trail%20walking.jpg "Dave and I 92.9kb - trail walking") ## Dave Stephenson ### Partner-in-spirit. Seldom a day goes by that I don't think about my late, twin brother Dave. He passed away on February 27, 2019. He lost a 3-year battle with leukemia (AML). We did everything together - we were inseparable. We were one! More than brothers, 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. ## Company news What does Don and Extended Impact Management Group LLC have to say?
