BY Andrew Miesner / July 25, 2014

On behalf of the compLexity Gaming family, we are honored to announce that our very own Manager of Business Development, Brian Jackson, has been married today! 

Although gaming is a huge part of our lives, we’ve always believed that family is most important and we can’t think of anything better to celebrate than when one of our own starts his own. With that said, and to avoid writing a sappy toast, here are some inspirational words of wisdom and very true facts of marriage for Mr. and Mrs. Jackson.
