Success at Work and On the Trails
Early this March, Perficient’s St. Louis Bike Team took a leisurely ride at Grant’s Trail. The team, which was founded in the summer of 2019, has spent the past year exploring Missouri’s scenic trails. Grant’s Trail stretches eight miles through St. Louis County and made for a beautiful ride for the team.
The St. Louis Bike Club took a chilly ride on Saturday, March 7th at Grant’s Trail.
In attendance were Jeremy Limones (Corporate Marketing), Monish Verma (Consulting), Mike Burkhart (STL Consulting), Denise Burt (Corporate Accounting and Reporting), Matthew Dickerman (Corporate Marketing), and Mattie Yallaly (Corporate Travel and Expense).
