Ryan Pope, Owner – Gnat’s Landing, St. Simons Island
“There is no way [to put into] how much Ray and Blue Orbit changed our lives. We moved to Atlanta from Europe with a dream of running our own business and decided that a restaurant was the ideal thing for us. Ray looked at us, what we were passionate about, and guided us through the complicated process of understanding business financials. Today, 2.5 years later, we own a very successful furniture studio where we design and fabricate furniture for clients all over the South. Ray was able to see us for who we are and guide us in the right direction. Thank you!”

“Michael Maxwell said it best when he explained the restaurant business to me as a large jigsaw puzzle. If you try to do it all at once it’s overwhelming, but if you put the most important pieces in place one at a time you end up with a beautiful final product. Blue Orbit did a masterful job of creating and opening our restaurant one piece at a time.”
