Where has your HEI koozie been?

HEI visits the St. Peter's Basilica
City of Rome, Italy for the Jubilee year! 



Dan Draper may be a miracle worker when it comes to hitting client deadlines, but the moment he stepped onto Italian soil and gazed up at St. Peter’s Basilica, he got a humbling dose of perspective. After all, this colossal church—the largest in the world—took 120 years to complete, starting back in 1506. It wasn’t the work of one genius alone either; five principal architects shaped its grandeur, including none other than the legendary Michelangelo.


So the next time a deadline looms and the pressure’s on, take a breath—Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was St. Peter’s Basilica. Great things take time.


Ciao!


Head west, they say, if you're chasing Sage and Dusky Grouse. Nate Parrott from our Morton office took that advice to heart, venturing into Wyoming’s Medicine Bow National Forest—where the grouse are elusive and the beverages stay cold thanks to his trusty HEI can coozie.
