  NOTE FROM OUR CEO, MIKEY HEINZ
  
  2021 was an incredible growth year thanks to you all working so hard out there. While it was a huge growth year, it did come with some growing pains that I wanted to call out. Although we consistently maintained a fast sale to install timeline across the board, we started dropping the ball on finishing the installs timely, sprinting to inspection, completing MPU's or any other additional work, and let other inefficiencies creep into parts of the business. I could explain why some of this happened and even call out some external circumstances that were out of our control but at the end of the day we can and will do much better. Going into 2022 our focus is on getting fully caught up in all areas and ensuring we communicate much better with you all and our mutual customers. We will never lose focus on the importance of speed to install but we are going to shift the focus to be more on the speed to PTO and increasing efficiency through the full process. I am extremely confident that in the next few months we will be better than we have ever been.
  
  

Thank you all for your trust and confidence in us. We do not take it lightly as without you there is no us!
