Even though we were early adopters of technology, we did our first salesforce implementation in 2004, we were on document management since around that time as well, but really it started accelerating very dramatically around 2010, when we found ourselves in a position where we were able to grow rapidly. Justin: When my brother started the business, from day one it was very organized, so we’ve always had a culture of, kind of, understanding, what our processes are, what our procedures are, where our information is, and we existed that way for a long time in somewhat of an analog world. You and I talked about it it’s quite impressive. So, when I was invited to have the opportunity to interview you, this description of really a company that uses technology a lot was presented. Typically, the properties we purchase are distressed assets when we get them, and they need a lot of attention and care to get them back into a position where they can be valuable on a long term basis, and the operations piece is very intense. My brother started the business when he graduated from law school and I was still in college, and we’ve been at it ever since. Russ: So, how long has the company been doing this? We have about 16 million square feet that we control, about, somewhere between employees we’re based in Houston, and we have properties all over the country. We own and manage office buildings, hotels, shopping malls, and some other assets. Justin: Well, Boxer is a privately held commercial real estate company. Justin, welcome to The BusinessMakers Show.
