Aivar came to work for the BC-Squared in spring 2022. He had not worked for us for long before he got called up to the IN National Guard (we knew he had just finished a deployment). He shipped out in September 2022 for a one year deployment. We are holding his job for him until he returns. Aivar is a vibrant member of our team and we look forward to having him back with us when he returns.
