Our connection to Native communities isn’t a marketing angle, it’s personal.

Within our family, heritage runs deep. Shane Brinkley is a documented citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Melissa carries Choctaw heritage as well, though undocumented. Our ancestor, Elizabeth Brownhouse, was Cherokee, tying us to the strength and resilience of the Cherokee Nation.

What began as business relationships within Native communities quickly became something much more meaningful.

At first, we were simply focused on doing great work, building partnerships, serving clients well, and operating with excellence. But the more time we spent working alongside Native-owned businesses and tribal organizations, the more we experienced something different: a deep sense of family, trust, and shared values.

The way Native communities operate with relationship at the center, integrity as a foundation, and legacy in mind, changed us.

What started as business became advocacy.

We saw firsthand how powerful it is when Native businesses support other Native businesses. We witnessed the pride in preserving culture while building modern enterprises. And we felt the responsibility to use our platform to amplify, support, and stand alongside Native entrepreneurs and leaders.

Today, our Native American Focus isn’t just about commerce. It’s about community. It’s about honoring heritage. And it’s about building partnerships rooted in respect, transparency, and long-term impact.

This is more than work to us.

It’s family.
