“Express is a special place to work. I started by hiring most of my friends, and then my friends hired their friends and on and on. Walking through the doors of Express is a lot like coming home. It’s a culture of friends, laughter, and hustle and there are not a lot of other places I would rather be than at Express,” he says. “We are in a unique industry in that the success of our business ultimately relies on how successful we can make other people. When other people win, so do we. When other people are successful, so are we. When our clients grow, so do we.”
