WHY BIRMINGHAM?
 The biggest reason we are located here in Birmingham is the Innovation Depot. The flexibility of the facility met our needs exactly which allowed us to concentrate resources on product development and marketing intstead of infrastructure. There is no place in the Southeast that can deliver what the Innovation Depot has to offer.
Because we fly a lot, the ease of access and availablity of the airport was a big plus. In New Orleans I used to have to budget an extra hour and a half just to get to the airport and then through security. The airport is less than 15 minutes from our house and business, I pull up to the airport and the valet parks my car and the best part is that I usually can move through security instantly.
Though there are several good business reasons to live here, the biggest reason we live here is that the whole family loves the city. We are outdoor types and we often can go hiking and biking. There are 5 parks within walking distance from our house and we love the cultural diversity of our neighborhood. People in Birmingham are friendly and that fits our lifestyle the best.
