 Welcome to JSA TV and JSA Podcast, the newsroom for telecom and data center professionals. I'm Laura Noland here in beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii for PTC 20. Joining me now is Lee Kirby, the chairman of Salute Mission Critical. Welcome, Lee. Thank you. Happy to be here. Now, Lee, Salute has an amazing mission, one that brings a lot of diversity and fresh talent to our data center marketplace. Can you tell our viewers a little bit more about it? You bet. In 2013, when we started Salute, the unemployment rate for veterans was almost 25%. That didn't make any sense to us. So we wanted to build a company that could be a bridge to the industry. And we hire any veteran, not just the technical specialties that has the aptitude and desire to be in the industry, train them and get them into positions to gain the experience so that they can start careers with our clients or with the industry in general. And that's been working great. And I think that we've shown the veterans are a competitive advantage to any company because of the value they bring and all of the skills and experience they got in the military. Wonderful mission. And we've heard already a lot of great feedback here at PTC20. So looking back at 2019, you were able to grow your roster, your client roster and press through some new boundaries. Can you tell us more about the expansion? It's been exciting. We're over 300 full-time staff now in seven countries. And we got the Deloitte and Touche Fast 500 this year for growing at an incredible rate. The reason we're growing so fast is I think our model has been realized and adopted. Once we partner with a client, we have a workforce development strategy in place that integrates with them and it solves their personnel problems forever because our guys will basically ascend into positions that open up and we'll backfill them and we'll keep that feeder system going. And that solves a huge problem in the industry. Can you tell us a little bit more about what's coming up for early in the new year about what's coming up in the months ahead? We've got some geographic expansion that'll continue as we work closely with our clients, but we're also gonna expand our capabilities. We're very close. It should be by the end of first quarter to opening up our first command center that will be available to all of our clients on a dispatch basis, which will give us greater capabilities with edge computing and be able to service the dark sites. Okay, so for folks who wanna get involved with Salute Machine Critical or find more information about you, where do they go? Our website's the best starting spot, SaluteINC.com or you can always get me, I'm all over LinkedIn, happy to talk to anybody about this. And also about our program we're working with Infrastructure Mason's on and the Veterans Initiative there because it's doing great things and getting people out to the military to establish themselves as liaisons and make people know our industry exists. Thank you for joining us, Lee, we appreciate it. Thank you for having me. And thank you viewers for tuning in to JSA TV and JSA Podcasts. Happy networking.
