QUOTES
"The whole point of a leader is to help people to keep from getting lost or to get back on the right path if they do, or to kind of go out and explore a new path." - Adam Niffen"Your mental health is everything, and you really have to cater to that because if you're not waking up and at least doing something to ease your mind, to get all those thoughts, all those things that have collected inside of your head." - Mikhail Velez"Everything that's out there that we can dabble in, we're doing. I really like to focus on the customizations. That's still my thing to do for fun. Once in a while, I get into that. I pick a project and we go for it." - Mikhail VelezSOCIAL MEDIA LINKS
