Lifestyle: Top 30 under 30

A special congratulations goes out to our CEO, Bradley Rhyne, for being named one of Charlotte's top 30 individuals under the age of 30. Requirements for selection being a heavy involvement in community service along with career achievement, there was some pretty stiff competition. Obviously, we aren't surprised, but in a city full of people rising through the ranks to achieve their dreams and goals, it is nice to see what we already know acknowledged by everyone else!
