It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through 2019! It’s been a mighty year of travel for team ONeil and in addition to racking up frequent flier miles, we’ve been afforded the opportunity to mingle and collaborate with some of the best in the building industry. We wanted to share where we have traveled these past six months and where to look for us the rest of the year.
