"After having lived in and worked a number of other cities, including Boston, Seattle, Silicon Valley and Chicago, I was attracted back to the Northeast Ohio area where I grew up because of the professional opportunities available here for those who are looking to make an impact."
- Ray Leach,
Chief Executive Officer, JumpStart Inc.
