We've got a few March birthdays to celebrate this month 🎉

First there's Kevin Meyers! Kevin's birthday falls during Pisces season ♓ which is perfect because he's a fisherman 🐠 Message Kevin and ask how his retirement is going. He LOVES that question and we still love hearing his little snicker around the office from time to time 😉

Coming up next, only a day apart are Paul Meteer and Amanda Leoporowski! Their birthdays fall during Aries season - the sign of the Ram ♈. If you've worked with them, you can attest to their calm nature unless they need to put the hammer down on a project. And they will! 🔨

Cheers to you all! Have the happiest of birthdays 🎈

Bet you didn't know Clarus was so into Zodiac signs...We're giving it a shot! If you're birthday is in March, leave a comment with the date below ⬇️
