I have such great respect for anyone who is willing to commit to a dream and do whatever is necessary to achieve it. I love working with entrepreneurs at NBIC. I know that each business at NBIC gets a solid foundation in success fundamentals, and the energy and passion of the entrepreneurs is uplifting every time I visit. It is also very exciting to hear the growth stories, especially when jobs are created that enrich people’s lives and our community.
