“At the end of the day, for me, if I could get to two years down the road and have all my team still there, we’ve had some wins, probably some had some challenges, and we’re moving the company forward but people are fulfilled, and they’ve contributed and they feel valued and they’ve been compensated in a way they feel good about, that’s the win!” – Duane Cummings

“You can’t go back and change your past but as soon as you’re aware of it, you should change the trajectory of your future and take on the good stuff, which is wisdom.” – Duane Cummings
