Thank you for your review which gives us an opportunity to reply. I appreciate your acknowledgement of the hard work Adam did to navigate the company through the sequestration chaos. He did an amazing job, and today he is still running it along with Moe. They are both incredible, and so are the devoted team members that remained loyal to the company, and continue to deliver exceptional service. Sadly you are referring to a time in the company right after we lost my stepmother of 30 years to a horrific 18-month colon cancer battle (I was in Baltimore a lot with my dad 2012/2013), and right before I began caring for my mother who was gravely ill for 15 months before her passing in April 2014. So, I navigated the declines, deaths, and mourning of two of the most important people in my life, while raising 2 sons, while the company was decimated by sequestration. I fully own that I was not a good leader during this time. I am so sorry you experienced the worst of IE. When I first started the company in 1995, and until around 2011, we enjoyed an incredible culture, with the MOST incredible people I have ever worked with. I will forever be grateful for their dedication and trust. There is a reason we had so many employees stay for 10+ years - it was because we were extraordinary. I truly am very sorry you had a poor experience. I want you to know that I welcome the opportunity to meet with you or talk with you if you ever want to do that. I have not been in the business now for a few years - frankly the long-term caring and eventual death of my loved ones broke my spirit for a bit, and I acknowledge that after sequestration and the institution of the LPTA procurement environment, I was no longer the person to run the company. The company leadership today is doing a great job, and I am grateful the company navigated through the turbulence. Thank you again for your service, and please know that I wish you the best.
