me: great! turn on secret weapon… *click*click*click*

Surrounded by Amazing Mothers

This Mother’s day I am surrounded by two amazing mothers! First is my beautiful wife, Kartika, the other half of S1. Thank you for being a wonderful mom to our daughters, and a God fearing wife, and a very supporting business partner! What more can you ask for! Here’s 2 recent one from the recent birth of our 2nd daughter (more on that later!)
