With two adults, two kids, and no shortage of activities, the Brown Family's outdoor adventures create a lifetime of memories.
Senior Project Manager Devon Brown and his family are nothing if not lovers of the great outdoors. When the opportunity allows, they opt outside: from camping, to hiking, to grilling out, anything goes!
Recent trip highlights include: camping in Acadia National Park and visiting Bar Harbor, hiking in The White Mountain National Forest, and two trips to Fenway Park: one against the Yankees on Father's Day (the kids' first Red Sox game!) and the second to see the Savannah Bananas! Fun was had by all, and life lessons learned included the importance of a piggy-back ride on a long hike, that the ocean water is cold in Maine (yes, even in July), and that we shouldn't repeat most of the chants we hear at a Red Sox vs. Yankees game…
The pictures speak for themselves, and we cannot wait to celebrate many more years of Devon's leadership and friendship, both personally and professionally. Cheers!
We earn customer trust by inspiring great leadership through insights gained with experience. More often than not, those lead to great "a-ha" moments that are worth sharing.
