After receiving chiropractic care for a sports injury she sustained while participating in high school hockey, she later fell in love with how the human body heals itself. Her primary goal is to assist patients in recovering and returning to their jobs, hobbies, and daily lives.

Have a great day, Doctor!!

What does Jason do?
"If companies have an idea of what they want to do from a project management standpoint or if they have a strategy but don’t know what to do, that’s when I get a phone call. I can help flush things out a bit more, understand where things are with them, where they want to go, and start to prioritize the tasks of the project. I like to say I turn vision into reality by helping their teams out. I run their projects from start to finish and then I’m out."

Have a great day, Jason!

We are SO glad we were able to assist so your business didn't have to take a hit, Jason! Thank you for trusting us👏👏

Have you met Ryan?

Hometown: Fargo, ND
Fargo South High
Northwest Technical College

A freelance artist and illustrator for over 30yrs, Ryan founded Office Sign Company in 2008. From a basement start-up to 40+ employees, Ryan says staying “lean and mean” gets harder as you grow, and that’s okay.

I use the word “agility” a lot. We’re always focused on trying to be more agile, which gets exponentially harder as you scale.

Imagine everyone is tied together at the waist with a rope. When there were five of us, it was, “Hey guys, let’s jump to the right.” And everyone would jump to the right.

Now, with 40 people, you tell your team to jump right and three people go left, 12 fall down and the rope splits in half.

And that’s when you just have to say, “Okay, let’s try again.”
