Ron Ryder

Jay has been the consummate professional here at IMGX through some mean times - three years worth of SEC audits, quarterly reports and a difficult S1 process. Jay has proven himself to be hard working, dedicated and of high moral character. Anyone wanting a recommendation, please ping me, I am very happy to give an excellent reference.
