Armando Jaramillo

As a group we are lucky to be managed by an armadillo with such a reputation for quick decision making and jumping skills. It is not only luck, however, that has kept him with us so long. We attribute that to our ability to shield him from any surprises and the fact that he does not spend much time in the middle of the highway.

He comes from a long line of snap-actionaries. Many of his family have proudly met their match with the grill of a mack truck. Others have hesitated and found their demise in the underside of an 18 wheeler.

But never let it be said that when faced with a dangerous situation these armadillos took a 'wait and see' attitude. Or even a 'curl up and live' one. Right or wrong they sprung into action without a thought to the risk they were taking. I guess that is why we have Armando on our team today. If he thought about it, he may not have taken the leap.
