Almost every challenge can be improved by effectively communicating to the "right" people. I enjoy figuring out who the "right" people are and what they want to hear to drive action."
houndstooth, huh?
Why houndstooth? A common question.
The houndstooth pattern intertwines and integrates one thread with another. It has substance. It's usually associated with heavy material like wool and twill - it lasts forever. What a great visual representation of our integrated approach. Everything must tie together to stay strong.
While we believe it's a compelling and memorable name, the origin started with Greg's first dog, Hank - RIP. As names were being brainstormed, Greg thought of paying homage to his departed black lab. So, after several dog themed ideas were thrown around, houndstooth was formed.
