Help us give a HUGE congratulations to Rachel on FIVE YEARS with our team! 🎉

If you know Rachel, you know she is so much more than a teammate—she’s truly the glue that keeps us all together. She’s the motivator who keeps us on track, the voice reminding us to keep pushing forward, and the encouraging face we can always count on to say, “It’s going to be okay!” ❤️

For FIVE WHOLE YEARS, Rachel has shown up with an incredible work ethic, dedication, attention to detail, and a genuine heart for the people around her. She works hard, keeps us moving, and somehow always manages to bring encouragement and positivity along the way.

We are so incredibly grateful for everything Rachel does and for the energy, heart, and commitment she brings to our team every single day. Five years is a BIG deal, and we couldn’t let it pass without celebrating her! 🎊

Clear the runway and hide your grandmothers, because the official Shunk Hunk of the Month has arrived—and Mike is an absolute physical specimen built for high-speed performance on and off the slopes. Get your drool rags out----you've been warned!

Look at that sculpted physique! Behind that killer smile is a man carrying serious horsepower. With big, bulging biceps made for steering high-performance machinery and legs carved from pure steel, this guy is a walking masterclass in peak physical engineering. He honed those powerful quads and broad, muscular shoulders during his days as a legendary ski instructor at Winter Park, and he still carves up the mountain on skis and snowboards like a human avalanche. You don't get a body like that by sitting around—you get it by ripping through powder and living by his personal motto: "Ya can't win if you don't play."

Ladies, take a deep breath and calm your hearts, because this total babe has been locked down for 50 glorious years by his leading lady, Cindy. She deserves a medal, a key to the city, and a permanent glass of Prosecco for keeping this stallion tamed for a half-century. But that doesn't mean we can't aggressively admire this silver-fox speed demon from afar. When he’s not dreaming about growing up to be a professional race car driver, he’s admiring sleek Porsches—the only vehicles on earth capable of matching his high-octane energy and flawless lines.

How does a top-tier specimen maintain such a jaw-dropping figure? Forget boring protein shakes. This powerhouse fuels those massive muscles strictly on Mexican food and Salted Nut Rolls, a high-protein, sweet-and-salty power diet that keeps him ready for action. When he isn't repping his favorite color blue while screaming at the TV for his beloved Denver Broncos, you can find his ruggedly handsome self jetting off to Italy, looking like an international man of mystery straight out of a movie. Yet underneath that rock-solid chest and those movie-star looks beats a heart of pure gold—he’s a softie at heart whose absolute favorite film is The Wizard of Oz, and he loves nothing more than cuddling up with his favorite little dog, Gracie.

Give it up for our reigning champion, the mountain-shredding, muscle-bound legend—the official Shunk Hunk of the Month!

Happy Birthday to a beautiful soul inside and out!

From the smallest details to the biggest projects, Brittany doesn't just pay attention—she truly cares. Life has been brighter, more organized, and so much lighter since she joined our team. Even on the toughest days, she has a way of bringing steady positivity and warmth wherever she goes.

From being an incredible mama and a woman of faith who leads by example with continuous grace and kindness, to being the absolute best teammate we could ask for, we are so grateful for everything she brings to our lives. We hope this coming year brings you all the joy, success, and love you so generously give to everyone around you!

Love,

Your Work Fam!

EXTREMELY URGENT PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: AUGUST SHUNK HUNK OF THE MONTH HAS JUST DROPPED!

Hold onto your seats and prepare yourselves: August’s Shunk Hunk of the Month is none other than Mr. LYLE!

Listen, people. We could stand here and tell you about how Lyle likes to go fishing, slice balls down the fairway on the golf course, or cook up a storm in the kitchen—but let’s be entirely honest with ourselves for a second. Nobody is looking at Lyle to hear about his hobbies. We are here to critique the main course: this hunk of meat that is an exquisite, marbled, five-star piece of fine-dining perfection!

Just look at him. Those arms aren't just biceps; they’re two oversized logs of pure steel capable of tearing open a bag of charcoal in a single glance. Look at that sculpted chest! Rumor has it his muscles are so ridiculously huge and jacked that he doesn't even swing a golf club—he just stares down the ball until it gets scared and flies into the cup. When he’s out on the lake, the fish don't bite the lure; they jump straight into the boat just to get a closer look at those carved-out lats.

When this Greek god needs to refuel those python-sized guns, he stays strictly on brand: a high-octane glass of good bourbon and water. After all, Lyle lives by a very strict, highly philosophical lifestyle creed:

“You can’t drink all day unless you start in the morning!” (Words to live by. Truly a scholar.) 🥃

Now, for everyone currently wiping drool off their keyboards: put those fans away. This ultimate heartthrob was officially taken off the market by his wonderful wife, Donna, way back! She locked down this total stallion early, and honestly, who could blame her?

Let’s hear it in the comments for August’s undisputed, boulder-shouldered, absolute specimen of a Shunk Hunk… LYLE! 💪🎉🍻

Happy Birthday to BRETT!!

(Disclaimer: Brett, we know this post is already way too long for your liking. That, "Happy Birthday, BRETT!!"--was time consuming enough for you. You’re probably scanning this at 10x speed, (if you can figure out how your Facebook works) sweating because you’ve spent more than 4 seconds reading it, and thinking about how many emails you could have sent by now. But, too bad! (Today might be your birthday, but it’s OUR day to tease you!) So......here it goes......

The Brett Lexicon: A Daily Survival Guide

If you exist within a 50-foot radius of Brett, your day is soundtracked by a very specific, high-speed playlist:

"Good Morning, Sunshine!" (Delivered at 8:00 AM with the energy of a double espresso injected straight into the atmosphere.)

"What’s shakin’, bacon?!" (The calm standard greeting before he drops a total operational bomb on your lap.)

"You’re not wrong." (High praise. Print it out, frame it, and put it on your desk.)

"You're not wrong--sometimes followed by a drawn out, Buuuuttt" (Good luck with whatever comes after that one.)

"Okieeeeee!" (The official audio signal that the conversation is over and hyper-speed action has commenced.)

"OK, I got 2 minutes—what do you got?" (And he means literally 120 seconds. Remove all prepositions, skip the pleasantries, speak at twice the speed of light and as a matter of fact, please always speak like that to him.)

The Delusional Math of "It’s Not Hard"

Brett’s personal calendar operates on a completely different planet with altered laws of physics. Time limits are merely suggestions, and dead space on a calendar is a personal insult. He will casually slide by your desk, flash a smile, and drop a casual line like:

"Hey, I just need these 5 apps done in 30 minutes. No big deal, it’s not hard, shouldn’t take long at all!"

In reality, those 5 applications mean four hours of painful deep-diving, software sacrifices, and hunting down missing driver’s licenses that were somehow left off the checklist (because hey, that part’s “not hard,” right?).

Laser Focus (Or: Complete & Utter Blindness To His Surroundings)

When Brett locks into a task, the rest of the universe simply ceases to exist.

A full SWAT team could breach the office windows, a circus elephant could stroll past his desk eating a bag of roasted peanuts, and a flash mob could launch into a choreographed routine on his rug—and Brett wouldn't even blink. He’d just hit us with a breezy "Okieeeee!", and keep typing like a rogue black-ops mission wasn't unfolding 12 inches from his elbow.

And WE aren't wrong about any of this.

To a boss who truly cares about his team, always makes sure we never miss our kids’ games, school events, or appointments, is full of dad jokes, and has built a business that feels like family: Happy freaking Birthday!

Love,
Your Work Fam

🚨 SHUNK HUNK OF THE MONTH – JULY EDITION 🚨

Well... the time has come.

Yes, it feels incredibly cringe and admittedly awkward to objectify our boss. But, yes... we're doing it anyway.

Meet July's Shunk Hunk of the Month... Brett. 🔥💪

If you've ever walked into the office and suddenly forgotten why you were there, there's a solid chance Brett had just walked by in a fitted suite. Now hold on ladies, those good looks don't just happen, who do you think dresses this man??? His wife, so you have been warned to look, daydream and or drool, but keep your paws to yourself---YOU VULCHERS!

The man didn't just understand the assignment...

He became the extra credit.

When this absolute Grade-A Certified USDA Prime Stud Muffin™ isn't deadlifting enough weight to make forklifts feel insecure, he's consuming massive amounts of protein----

Do you want to know why the chicken actually crossed the road, because I'll tell you for free!?

Because Brett's consumed so much protein they cross the road just to avoid him.

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Hose. Hose, who?

Hose that incredibly ripped firefighter pictured in this months Shunk Hunk of the Month?!?

And let's address the elephant-sized biceps in the room.

Scientists estimate his sleeves are under more pressure than the stock market.

His jawline could cut drywall.

His forearms look like they file tax returns on their own.

Honestly, if efficiency had a six-pack...

It would look like Brett.

If productivity had cheekbones...

Also Brett.

If "Dad Bod" had an arch nemesis...

Definitely Brett.

We'd keep writing, but this post has already exceeded Brett's recommended reading time of 3.75 seconds, and somewhere he just felt his eye twitch.

Now stop staring.

He's got work to do.
