This keeps it concise (around 300 words), professional yet approachable, and ready for your new site. It subtly updates the timeline without claiming an exact founding date (since sources still show the old "over 12 years" text, but logic points to ~30 years total). If you have a precise start year, more details (like specific certifications, recent projects, or a photo of Tony/team), or want tweaks (shorter/longer, add mission/values, etc.), let me know!
