This was an incredible experience, joining the Heartland team in June 2012 when our stock was $27.70 per share, and completed the sale to a great company and wonderful fit for Heartland, Global Payment Systems (GPN) at $103.09 per share….a 370% increase - nothing short of amazing, and a testament to the leadership and values of Bob Carr. Bob is, IMO, an American hero who created an entirely new model on how to conduct the payment processing business, both to bring fair and transparent pricing to small and medium businesses in America, but also in treating sales professionals the right way, the Heartland Way. I highly recommend Bob's book - Through the FIRES. His story, the Heartland story, are worth knowing….a remarkable Company, a remarkable man…#privaledgedtoworkatHeartland
