This Is the Company That Sean Built

 

Once upon a time a little boy had a dream, and a dad who believed in him . . .

When Sean was in the sixth grade he decided he wanted to own his very own software company someday.

He invented a name and created a logo and carried around a company brochure of his pie in the sky.

Years passed.  Opportunities came and were captured.  His sister married and introduced a new partner into this little father-son enterprise.

More time passed, Sean married and we all lived on laughable paychecks for a while.

 

But, as they say, slow and steady wins the race.

After lots of wishing and hoping and dreaming and hiring some amazing people, those dreams started becoming a little more real.

Property was purchased . . .

And we waited . . .

Plans for a building were drafted . . .

And we waited some more.

Revisions were made and changed and redrawn, and before we knew it a little ground-breaking ceremony was taking place.

Walls were painted, floors were laid, keys changed hands and children gleefully ran rampant through a big, empty, beautiful building that was built on dreams.

 

Moving day came and went.

 

Now the structure is filled with desks and cables and phones and computers, and a surprising amount of love and loyalty and commitment.

This story that began with a boy and his dad has extended to a new generation as our children bear witness to the power of dreaming and working hard and, perhaps most importantly,

believing in one another.
