Today is Mpix's 4th birthday. Camron Mitchell, our production coordinator, will never forget August 22nd. Camron's son, Cade, was born the day before Miller's launched the Mpix division. It must have been crazy around Camron's house that week just 4 short years ago.
I still remember the excitement in the lab that day. John Rank was our sole customer service person, Camron was taking on his new production position, Todd Coleman was overseeing another significant 'first' in the business, Samae Claspill and I were anxious to see if our marketing efforts were going to be successful, and the 5 production people were prepared for the onslaught of orders. We turned on the web site with the excitement of a kindergartener on their first day of school. We all knew that we were on the ground floor of something big…little did we know how big.
All of us associated with Mpix definitely had an advantage over other start ups because of our affiliation with Miller's-the largest professional imaging lab in the country. We inherited the quality and delivery standards that are unparalleled in the photographic industry, and the winner is our customers…all 235,000 that have signed on with Mpix over the past 4 years. It's been a great ride, and the future is bright.
Happy birthday Cade, and happy birthday Mpix!
