The 3 Amigos
The partners met by chance years ago. Mike and Tom met through mutual friends in the industry and have been friends for years and talked about starting something up when the right place came along. Mike and Brienne met while working at a local sports bar. They found that they worked well together and became good friends. Mike and Tom approached Brienne knowing she would complete the team.
The trio of friends bring unique skills to Carolina and are excited to start this adventure.
