Greetings! A lot's happened since we last "spoke", so here's a quick rundown
Saltbox growth
Open in Dallas and Seattle - we launched our Dallas location in March and Seattle in Aug, and both locations have ramped up above our expectations. The greatest part of all of this is hearing from the many entrepreneurs whose stories are both motivating and really fun. Check out a recent video from the CEO of a cool brand, PWRWMN.
Q4 is going to be busy - before the end of the year we're opening in the LA area (Torrance) and Denver, while also expanding our presence in Atlanta and Seattle.

We're also into fulfillment - we believe traditional 3PLs are fundamentally broken for growing eCommerce companies, so we decided to build our own. Early feedback from our initial customers has verified our hypotheses, so we're on the path to true product-market-fit here.
The big 50 - It's crazy to say, but we officially have 50 employees who have decided to join us on this journey.
A bit of personal news
A humbling (and sweaty) experience -- I had the privilege of officiating one of my best friend's wedding this August, at a beautiful waterfront location in Poughkeepsie, NY.
New place, who dis -- I've got a new address (1295 Hoffman Ln), and something tells me I'll (most likely) be here for a little while. If you find yourself in the A and looking for a place to crash, drop me a line. I'll be happy to host.
Family time -- My nephews (and little sister) recently moved to the Atlanta area, and it really has been great to spend time with them. Most weekends are filled with hikes, bike rides, over-eating at Waffle House, and me convincing them to do push-ups.
Swag for days!
... well at least for a couple of warm afternoons. We're launching some new Saltbox swag, and I'd love to share it with you. If you're interested, drop your name and address here, and I'll make sure it’s not just a bunch of Amazon boxes at your door next month.
