GURU:

The dictionary defines a guru as a person that is generally recognized as a leader or teacher: a person with knowledge and expertise , an expert. Someone worthy of respect.

The word Guru, with its spiritual roots and high expectations, was the perfect name to capture the essence of Aaron Della Vedova's vision over 20 years ago.
