A Season to Celebrate

Like Alvin, Simon, and Theodore once sang, "Christmas, Christmas time is near..." With four children at home, I can attest that it's "time for toys," but I wanted to take a moment to share why it's also "time for cheer."

The Echidna family has grown markedly over the past year. We've essentially doubled in size staff-wise; we've extended our project reach across Canada and into the U.S.; and we've redoubled our commitment to London's downtown core! Not only did we expand into the first floor of our King/Talbot Burridge Block location, but we've since expanded that expansion and are about to unveil our new space!

No matter what kind of family you have -- biological or work-related -- you know there's going to be some growing pains involved. But that's why it's so important to have good people around you, supporting you and complementing your efforts. At home, I'm blessed to have my wife Roxanne, daughter's Anna, Isla, and Ruby, and our newest addition -- George. At the office, I know how lucky I am to have a multi-talented team that works well together and makes Digital Echidna look good on the international stage.

We're also thrilled to be based in London, ON. Being at the heart of this downtown, we can feel the heartbeat of this city getting stronger. And we're proud to be able to give back to the community and be part of its renewal. We're strong supporters of a number of charities, organizations, and initiatives. We don't often talk about it because we believe in letting our actions speak louder -- but we believe in giving back, sharing our talents, and putting in the effort because we believe in London.

On behalf of everyone at Digital Echidna, I want to wish you and yours a happy holiday season. Whether you're spinning the dreidel, attending midnight mass, engaging in feats of strength, or simply waiting for Santa to arrive, I hope you have the opportunity to spend this season with those who matter most to you.

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and thank you, London, for all the gifts you've given Digital Echidna over the years.
