It's hard to believe that this is our 16th year in business in Alaska. 16 years ago I never imagined the road ahead for Cathy and I when we decided to leave behind the comfort of our newly built home, Cathy's state job and set out on an adventure that led to Alaska. If I could have looked into the future then and seen the challenges, the joys and the laughter of 5 boys, three of them triplets – well let’s just say that some things are better to find out as they happen! The unknown is what … [Read more...]

For our customers who have given us their blessing, we will be pulling their non-WordPress motors out of their websites and we'll be re-powering them with a brand new, off the … [Read more...]

Maybe it was re-reading Small Giants by Bo Burlingham or having triplets 2 years ago, but I have been giving much thought to priorities, to where I am headed personally and where Sundog Media is headed as a company and this introspection has been a good process. All companies that last face a moment or moments when they have to figure out what they do with growth and there is always a tough balance between growth and quality.
