If you haven’t gotten on board with our #Take15 campaign yet, now’s the time to get started!
For the past few months we’ve been talking with (and about) some of our local heroes, the people who’ve gotten us where we are, and members of your very own Dial A Geek team.
We’ve been discussing who they are, the past 15 years since Dial A Geek was founded, and the changes they’ve seen in that time personally or in their own industry.
Here are the highlights of what you’ve missed so far:
