BACK40 DESIGN CELEBRATES 5 YEARS IN BUSINESS
Jan. 12 marks five years of business for Back40 Design, a web/print/marketing firm with offices in Edmond and Shawnee. Dave Miller, CEO, states “My wife, Sandy, and I basically started Back40 in the middle of the dotcom bust, yet we have thrived and grown. This is due to the hard work and committment of the Back40 staff and our long-term relationships with clients. We’re proud of our achievement. This is just the start.”

Everyone in the office is genuinely impressed with Peyton Stovall’s (project manager) new car. It is pearl white, sporty, has lots of power and a cool sunroof.
