In 2005, Mark made the decision to take on a business partner to help manage the growth of this young company. Jim Hartman joined the group as a managing partner, responsible for the day to day business activity of the company. This allowed Mark to step away from his desk to oversee the work in the shop and the field. Jim started his career in 1990 in finance, accounting, contracts and marketing, and holds an MBA and a BS in business management. Mark and Jim started working together in 1995 at Universal Studios, working on a variety of projects for what was then their Planning and Development department.
