When you live in Boston, and it’s the middle of January, how do you tell your wife and the mother of your 4 sons that you have to go to Orlando, Florida, Disney World, for work? If you’re like me, you don’t. You send her a text and leave in the middle of the night.

My name is Sean Donahue and I am the new guy here at RES starting on a brilliant team doing marketing for some really stellar products.  OK, enough of the pandering to my new boss.
