Ringing the Closing Bell on Nasdaq

The SPS Commerce executive team, along with our spouses, got to ring the closing bell for NASDAQ today! This was a career highlight for me as I approach my ten year anniversary with SPS, and it was even better that Tammy was able to be there with me, as well as the amazing leaders I get to work with. Everything about this experience was so much fun.

A huge thank you to all of TeamSPS for making our company so great, and to our customers for putting their trust in us and the World’s Retail Network!

Tammy and I had a great time exploring New York, and getting plenty of steps in, on a 5.5 mile walk this morning.

As someone who is pretty terrified of heights, this Edge NYC experience seems horrifying. Lay on a glass floor 100 stories in the sky? Oh for sure no. Hard pass. Talk to the hand. Oh, and if that isn’t enough, you can do a City Climb? 😱

Gorgeous day to enjoy a walk along the High Line in Manhattan. Just one month after Tyler and I walked it and the everything was so much greener and some flowers were showing. Walking the High Line is now a tradition for any trip to New York!

Other times on the High Line: 2012, 2018, 2023 (Tyler and I), 2023 (Tammy and I), and 2023 (Family).

Wasn’t planning on it but walked by B&H Photo Video and had to go in and experience the most amazing electronics store I’ve ever been to. It’s like a candy store for gear!
