“Always have it, and not need it, than needing it and not having it.”

Welcome to the Mount Amanzi family, Amy!
Amy’s mantra is:

This holistic attitude and approach is exactly what we value at VRS and we are confident Martin will continue to be a valuable member of the Mount Amanzi family.
We look forward to your knowledgeable contributions, Martin. Welcome!
