Hello everyone,
I apologize for the legal page. If you know me at all, you know how much I love attorneys. However, when you are involved in the kinds of activities we engage in and publish or broadcast some of the content we discuss, it's necessary to have our legal team involved.
I assure you, if you try to read through all this legalese, you might feel brain-dead by the time you're done. If you don't get the answers or response you need, feel free to reach out to me personally, and I will resolve any issues you may be having one way or another. Some of this information is required by law to be posted on the site, and we must comply with those laws.
If for any reason you need to contact me directly, my direct email is Randyg@scottrandyggerber.com. I will respond to your email or give you a call directly. I have always had an open-door policy for any of my staff, and the same goes for the public at large, except the media. I have little use for the media in today's world as well. So please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly if you feel the need to do so.
Sincerely yours
Scott Randy Gerber
