Thank Yous All Around

As PR’UF approaches its one year anniversary, we want to take a moment and thank everyone who has helped us along the way. In the past ten months, we’ve overcome many obstacles. No doubt there will be many more to come. Without such invaluable support and advice, PR’UF would not be where it is today.

Our thank you list is long and it would take several blog posts to even begin to express our gratitude. For each of the people I mention below there are dozens of people who have lent their time, talents, and support. To everyone who’s joined us along the way, thank you.

On the expert side of things, we would like to thank Elijah Baker, Angelo Kastroulis, Dylan Phillips, and Brian Ritchie. These are some of the most talented architects and developers I have had the pleasure of knowing. These experts not only used the tool when needed, but also gave us advice and support along the way. Their work is beyond brilliant and it’s a privilege to have their expertise and opinion.

For the administrative part, we have Sal Cardello to thank. For three months he toiled away in our office, setting up our back office and reporting capabilities and laying the groundwork for our operations. We like to think the commute and organized chaos drove him to San Francisco and a new gig at EngineYard, but we probably can’t take credit for that. We will miss you, Sal.

We would also like to thank our partners at Interactive Resources, most notably Bryan Carter, Tony Alteri and Chuck Young. These are some of the best staffing partners in the industry today, and it has been a pleasure for all of us at PR’UF to work so closely with them and their team. Forming a partnerhip with IR has been one of the smartest business decisions PR’UF has made. We look forward to continuing our partnership for future clients and projects.

And then there’s the PR’UF team: Clay Tucker, Mike Potts, Tim Butts, Dennis Eusebio, Varick Rosete, and Jen Hyde. For six months we bootstrapped on a leap of faith, squeezing 7AM meetings in three times a week before rushing off to our full-time jobs. PR’UF’s design, development, promotions – all courtesy of our amazing team. Thank you to Print Resources Jacksonville for the great printing support and amazing turnaround. Thanks to Rick Roberts and Mike Willis for the continued support and guidance.

Though perhaps cliché, I need to thank our families and friends for supporting us through early mornings, late evenings, sleep-deprived delirium, and lost-in-thought oblivion. Having people believe in your work as much as you do makes it all worthwhile.

Last but not least, we would like to thank all of our “silent partners”. While we unfortunately can’t name you publicly, you know who you are. Many thanks for your amazing contributions.
