We have known and worked with Jason for more than 15 years. He has helped us design our website several times as technology has changed, keeping it fresh, current and easy to modify. His knowledge of the industry is incredible and he has a great way of sharing that information and educating others in a way that's understandable.

Sounds like a really fun trip. I’m sure you are glad you did this with your dad. Best part is you have some cool souvenirs to enjoy too.
Thanks Aaron! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Thanks for sharing! Impressive bottle finds too! I’ve been hooked on various brown liquor since an Ireland trip 7 years ago. Recently our collection has grown and has some fun bottles from various vacation travels, that are tough to locate in and around KC.
Thanks Michael! I appreciate you taking the time.
