How We Got Here: Jim and Troy’s Story

Posted By: A. Porter and Katy B.
2 years ago
Illustrated graphic of rolling hills and sky with "How We Got Here: Jim and Troy's Story" text included.

In previous posts, we have explored both Jim and Troy’s histories in our “How’d I Get Here” series (which can both be found here)—and now, you can read a compilation of both in Summit’s first comic book. We would like to introduce “How We Got Here: Jim and Troy’s Story”. This is a fully illustrated and colored comic book detailing the history behind our firm and its founder.  

This series capstone was created by our very own team members Katy B. and A. Porter, who you may recognize from our previous blog, “Talent Beyond the Desk: Illustration.” The two of them have worked hard to bring you this visual glimpse into the backgrounds of our CEO and President. From their earliest days to their thriving partnership, this comic takes the reader on a journey. We couldn’t be more excited to debut this visual compilation of our company history.  

The Stories That Inspired the Comic Book
