Lest you think that this blog and my work at Booz Allen is solely my doing, I thought it was high time to create a page highlighting some of the tremendously talented people working on my team. You’ll be seeing some guest posts from these guys on steveradick.com from time to time, but in the interim, make sure you start following them on Twitter and get to know them there now – think of it like getting a chance to meet LeBron James before he became a huge NBA star…or not. Either way – here are some of the people who are helping me maintain my sanity.
