Good night and thanks for the hoops.

While our customers saw a lot of us, they didn’t see that much of the real engine room: our amazing wives who supported, encouraged, cheered and put up with us along this amazing journey.

We are excited about Swisherr 2.0 and the new opportunities we can provide for the basketball community.

And we are deeply grateful to Kristy, Belinda and Larissa for all they did along the way.

Tonight we - just the six of us - took the opportunity to say farewell to shed with a couple of champagnes and a pizza.
