Nicole Karmali

“Most people take the easy way out. They cut corners, walk by guests without saying hello because they are in a hurry, or get a project in at 5:02pm when it was really due at noon that day. These people don’t work at O&B. We take the long hard road to get to a place of fulfillment in our jobs. We do things by the book or we will create a more efficient way to get the job done and better. We are a team of “one uppers” and we love each other for it.”
