Union Plaza OffiCenter has proven to be more than just a great place to office, as many of our clients are making lifelong friendships as well. Included in this group of business professionals who work hard and play even harder are Ryan Ahlberg, Alex Thiele, Ashwin Madia, Josh Newville, Christopher Kuhlman and Chad Reichwald. Below, they each share how they have benefited personally and professionally while working at Union Plaza.

“I have enjoyed all of the friendships I have made with other OffiCenter clients. It is good to bounce ideas off of them, especially at J.D. Hoyt’s. Also, the camaraderie keeps me from moving to a yurt in southwestern Montana.”- Ryan H. Ahlberg, Ahlberg Law

“Union Plaza has been the office location for my business since late 2009. It has also been more than just an office for me, as I’ve met dozens of interesting and fun business owners who make the work day much more tolerable. Having enjoyed countless Happy Hours at JD Hoyt’s, and even a Ski Trip or two with those that I’ve met here, I feel fortunate to call a select group from Union Plaza very close friends. OffiCenters has provided an invaluable resource for me; a repository of likeminded entrepreneurs who work hard, and enjoy life.” – Alex Thiele, Lion’s Lynk

“It’s great sharing office space with so many good friends.  It’s especially nice to be able to refer cases to them if I see something that may be a good fit – some of them let me refer directly to their cell phones.” – Ashwin J. Madia, Madia Law

“My favorite part of getting to know the other people on the floor–both professionally and personally–is the breadth of personalities and experiences. I feel like it brings a perspective that is lost when you only work within your professional bubble.” – Joshua A. Newville, Madia Law

“I wouldn’t say our connections as friends/acquaintances have blossomed, but more that is has grown like bacteria on a petri dish. I can’t get rid of these people. One of our favorite office mates escaped a few years back and started a firm in another building. Since then I’ve got electronic trackers on all of my little buddies here. They’re not going anywhere without me. Of course as I write this at least three of them are on vacation.”– Chad Reichwald, Reichwald Law
