Congratulations to Christian

I’m sure he’ll be embarrassed when he finds out I put this in here - but Christian got married last weekend and I thought you all should know. Feel free to extend your warmest congratulations - christian @ amplify-interactive.com. Now we just have to figure out how to cover for him while he’s on his honeymoon…
