Tom Brady seems like he's been a winning quarterback in the NFL for ages. At the age of 44 and the oldest player in the NFL, he is a marvel. He was drafted in the Spring of 2000, more than 21 years ago!

It is hard to believe, but our firm began just a few months before he was drafted. Staying relevant and successful isn't easy - just like Brady has a steady routine of exercise, nutrition, and more, at EMP&A we are always working to improve and get better and smarter at what we do and how we do it. We don't take it for granted - it takes, consistent work to be worthy of our clients' trust - especially because we plan to be around even longer than Tom Brady!
