About Us
“My grandmother worked as a Rosie the Riveter during WWII, and her photo has always been inspirational for me. The spirit of the Rosies, the moxie of an underestimated group overcoming a significant challenge through teamwork, is why I created Pivot. Our goal is to apply that spirit to help improve our community and the environment.”
