With the annual “March Madness” of the NCAA Men’s and Women’s basketball tournaments about to get underway, I’m sure you are all furiously researching the odds of who will win and filling out your brackets for the home, office or friend pool. It’s become probably one of the most popular and collective sports activities next to watching the Super Bowl.

Posted by Kenyon Gleason on 2/15/24 1:39 PM

It’s been an absolutely remarkable and chaotic week. And as I write this, it’s only Wednesday.

Posted by Kenyon Gleason on 1/15/24 4:43 PM

My wife and I are working on a 1,000 piece puzzle right now and it’s probably the hardest puzzle either of us has ever attempted. Most of the puzzles I’ve done in the past are challenging, but color cues or lines and shapes give really good hints as to where the pieces go. Not so in this puzzle.

President's Message: The Best Things Aren't Actually Things

Posted by Kenyon Gleason on 11/17/23 12:26 PM

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a person focused on commitment and trust. To me, if you aren’t committed to what you say you’ll do, and you aren’t a person of character who’s willing to back it up, can you really be trusted?

President's Message: We Are Made of Strong Stuff

I’m sure you have heard it by now.
