"The thing that I enjoy most about Greenville is that I know that I can pick up this phone and I can call any of them and they will take my call and they will give me advice. Free, complete advice about entrepreneurship, about HR issues."
"Truth be told, is that we actually made the decision being here after an hour and a half sitting at a restaurant, listening to music and watching the people and families in the street and dancing...That was better than we would have expected. And again in a small town. But I think for us it was really the fact that there are so many people from different parts of the world in this town because of the kinds of industries here. So we didn't feel like we were going to a place that was this sleepy little town."
"Greenville has a different feel to it right now than it did, a trajectory that I'm more interested in. It's an opportunity to help shape it and improve here."
