Today is the very day we started Doba 5 years ago. October 22, 2002. So today was a good day to attend the Mountain West Capital Network (MWCN) Utah 100 event in Salt Lake City.

The main purpose of this event is learning the rankings of the top 100 fastest growing private and public companies in Utah. This morning, we found out that Doba was ranked the #1 fastest growing company in Utah based on percentage revenue increases from 2002 through 2006.

Here’s a photo of me and the Doba executive team with the event’s keynote, Utah Governor Huntsman. We even convinced the Governor to give us a big #1 sign.

When I posted about Doba ranking #23 on the 2007 Inc 500, I listed the people that deserve thanks for Doba’s receipt of recognition like this. Same list applies this time.

Finally, a good friend of mine (Ricky Bobby) lived his life by a simple motto: “If you’re not first, you’re last.” Well Ricky, today Doba made you proud. Shake and Bake.
