When I’m not working…

I like to play tennis competitively, golf poorly and complain about the Vikings.

“Working with SDK has always been a reliable and satisfying experience. Everyone hates doing taxes, but I know when I file them each year with SDK they are doing everything they can to ensure it is filed correctly and will ensure the full amount I am owed on my tax return.”
