Boss man definitely took working remotely & quarantining to the next level! Many of you have heard about Greg's serious car accident in August. Since the accident, he's had twelve surgeries on his left arm to repair the damage. The fight isn't over yet considering he was hospitalized again last Friday. But as you can see, he's making the most out of the worst circumstances and continues to get the job done! The nurses say he's the busiest man on the floor 😉 Needless to say, we're proud of the way he perseveres through challenging times and always puts his clients' needs above his own. Happy (late) Boss's Day to this warrior! 💪
