Almost a decade ago, our founder was working as an incident responder to a road construction zone, at night. An individual - ‘Glenn’ was managing flagging for traffic around a remote road in Eastern Oregon, behind a light generator trailer for the workers repairing the road bed. He was wearing a bright orange vest, a state issued hard hat, and had a large stop/slow sign on a pole. He was surrounded by traffic cones… routing traffic to one lane…

Gordon stopped to talk with Glenn earlier in the evening to discuss progress, catch up on events of the day, and to issue warning that rain was coming, it was getting dark, and ‘to be careful’.

Thirty five minutes later, Gordon was notified of an incident on that same road - that a worker was struck by an oncoming vehicle and pinned, needing immediate medical response by anyone in the area.

Fearing the worse, he rushed over as fast as he could in his cruiser, coming upon the scene. With his fears realized, he saw Glenn pinned between the a car, the guardrail, and the generator, lifeless.

This story is not unique, however something unique clicked this day and Gordon thought - “There has to be a way to save these lives…”
