-: With 25 employees, everyone has to be
somewhat of a generalist.
And I welcome everybody's ideas
and if there's any kind of fettering
of communication then that's not a good idea.
So I've really made it my mission to make
what do you like doing?
Let's...what is holding you back from doing that?
Why are you concerned about not telling me something
or bringing it to somebody's attention?
So that's what I spent my job, my four years doing.
And I've gotten a lot of wonderful feedback
from our industry partners and people who call in
who say that Arrow Computers is one
of the nicest companies they've ever dealt with.
My biggest challenge is competition
and keeping up with the leading edge.
So that was the other thing I did was in keep...
I had to hire a new team and they were
all software engineers.
We're basically a software engineering company.
That is absolutely a wonderful career path
for anyone who's choosing these days.
There was no computer science major
when I was at Pamona and there's a whole building now.
So you can see how important that is.
So I hired a new director of development
and he's cutting edge and what I needed
which was 3D graphics and augmented reality.
And so we have to be very innovative.
We have to be sure that we're staying ahead
even though we're small.
You can still find a niche and find a good place
for advancement.
