Look at where Jesus went to pick people. He didn't go to the colleges; he got guys off the fishing docks. ↗

We are looking for targets that have a tremendous strategic fit for the company. The colleges must have complementary education programs, have an excellent reputation, long operating history and solid regulatory compliance. ↗
