Hey Rand,

Congrats. I remember I met you the first time on a boat trip similar to the one we are arranging this year in Miami!
That must have been like 8 years or so ago! And this time we will celebrate your 9 year in the company on the boat, listening to the calypso band while getting a massage

Looking forward to work 9 more years with you !

Rand,

You are truly one in a million. I have to repeat what some have already said, I've known you since 2000, you were always a huge help getting any of our businesses setup and processing with Epoch/Paycom.

Here's to another 9 more!

Back in "98, I had just completed some courses in computer programming. I was one month our of school and interviewing for jobs. Didn't like any of the places I was talking to.

A friend of mine took me sailing one beautiful Saturday afternoon. As we got back to the harbor and berthed the boat in her slip, standing on the dock across from our berth was this beautiful woman. I spoke to her and she responded with an amazing smile and an Alabama accent. After chatting for a while, she asked me "So what do you do?" After explaining my situation she said "Well you should meet my husband", who turned out to be one of the founders of Epoch. A week later, not really knowing what I was getting myself into, I was working at Epoch. Thrown to the lions den. July 27, 1998 was my first day.

Back then, Epoch was only thirteen people and the business was just beginning to explode. I was setting up accounts all day long every day. Our processing agreement was four pages long. There was no compliance department. Just me looking at sites as I set them up in our database.

Working with Epoch, I've learned a lot. It was great being a part of start up company. And it's been a really amazing experience to be a part of the growth and success along the way. Back then, I never imagined I'd be with these guys for so long. But nine years later, here I am and loving every minute of it.

Cheers to you guys! I've met some truly amazing people in this biz and there is still a lot yet to come.

Congratulations Rand. You?re old school indeed (in a good way).

I remember that trip too! I didn't realize how long ago that was.

We love the relationship we have with you guys and I'm really looking forward to seeing you in guys in Florida.

Again, thanks for all the kind words here. It's been a business doing pleasure with all of you! Here's to what's next!

Rand, I think it's safe to say that you have been the anchor at Epoch/Paycom since the beginning of history. Employees have come and gone, products have come and gone, damn, even owners have come and gone, but you have continued to serve the needs of your clients and company with distinction and class through all of it.

How the hell do you do it? :-)

perfectly put Tom thanks.... Rand I have to agree 100% you are a great individual congrats... Mike H. says congrats as well!!!!!

Peaches · 07-30-2007, 10:32 AM
