Many moons ago, Gov. Gaston Caperton's administration asked us to produce a half-hour program on successful West Virginians. As we researched who to include, no name was more obvious to us than Jerry West! If you go about 19 minutes in on this documentary, you can watch his segment. I'll never forget how accommodating he was when we asked him to participate. At the time, he was GM of the Lakers -- but he had all the time in the world for this little film crew from back home.

Did you see our spread in the new issue of Wonderful West Virginia Magazine? Thank you Nikki Bowman for featuring us in the article about the newly reinstated WV Film Tax Credit.

Oh the stories "Mo", could tell!
Our company was founded on this day, 36 years ago, so while all eyes are focused on the the prognosticating power of Mo's "cousins," Punxsutawney Phil or French Creek Freddie, we thought we'd remind you of our favorite marmot. He's the one who left the family business and took a path less traveled by.
Happy birthday, Mo!

So, you want to shoot a holiday commercial with a cast of four humans, a cat, a dog, and a HORSE? Oh, and the horse has to look through a window? Sure! We can do that. (The voice inside our heads reeled with WHAT did you get us into! LOL) Shout out to Leslie Racine with the assist on the cat and dog, and to Zach and Kristyn Crede for Snowball's tv debut. So many stories about pulling this off for The Manahan Group and the WV Lottery.
