And that's a wrap folks! I signed on the "x" today, and just like that, FAM is sold to someone else's dream. I owe huge thanks to many people who helped FAM become a reality back in May 2011 namely, my original partner, Dustin Kellie Hadnot, thanks for being a great friend! Thanks to my family (both sides and extended) for the strong support no matter my idea! I can't name the countless business contacts whose relationships I am forever grateful and made my days easier. And to my pal, Joe Parker, who saved me in several moments of panic. Thanks to the community of Florence who kept me in the game in an otherwise tough commerce climate. Thanks especially to my wife and top salesperson who weathered the ups-and-downs as if they were her own. Thanks to Nicole who paddles upstream with me and my demands and dreams. Thanks to those I call my friends, you know who you are, who bought from me when you didn't have to and gave me one-way rides to pickup cars. Of course, thank you to my hundreds of customers who, "brought their 'fam' to FAM!" And thanks to those who just mentioned my name and believed in me when someone said they were "in the market." All I ever wanted to do was HELP friends, family, colleagues, and community navigate outside their comfort zones, and now, on to the next chapter of helping where I might be needed. Remember, life is about relationships, and I'm a firm believer in spoiling each other with experiences, not things; and that is what I am most grateful for; FAM afforded me the flexible opportunity to be there for all my kids' events and family happenings. So, that is my parting message...thank you for everything, I am humbled by the opportunity. Nick Monaco
