Our Values:
1) Stay on the Same Page – We make sure that we are clear in our communication and that we understand each other. There will be tension and frustration but it’s worse not saying what’s on our minds. Let’s not give mixed messages.

2) Mutual Respect – In order to work together, we must truly respect each other. This cannot be faked. We share a high level of trust, openness, and honesty.

3) Winning Is Only Half Of It, The Other Half Is Having Fun – We like to be the best in what we do but if we don’t have fun along the way then what’s the point? Life is too short.
