The Vision

The Founder
I am Sam Tippit, a graduate from Elon University with a degree in Political Science and International Relations. Deciding to take a different path completely, I got into the events industry by joining the Cleveland Browns for 3 years as a part of their special events department. Thereafter, I joined IMG/On Location, and worked within off-site hospitality operations surrounding the Masters Golf Tournament, eventually leading the operation for 7 years.
The Name
by William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
This poem was shared with me in my hospital bed during my second cancer diagnosis and was instrumental in my beating the leukemia on the way to a successful bone marrow transplant.
An extra "C" has been added to the name to represent my daughter Cecilia (Cece). The logo reflects the "bent" gates flanking the word on either side as well as a black pit in the middle. This poem properly reflects the values of this company as we seek to achieve our vision, no matter how strait the gate or how charged with punishments the scroll.
