My 500th invoice as @GravityDept was paid today.

Started 14 years 3 months ago. No employees. No contractors. Just me the whole time.

Founder slash janitor is life.

The @Magento Imagine Excellence Awards – 2019 Edition

4 years, 4 nominations, 4 wins.

Won Best B2B User Experience at @BakerDist!

Awesome six year collaboration between @WatscoInc + @Perficient + @GravityDept.
