The Gyroscope
"A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principle of conservation of angular momentum. The essence of the device is a spinning wheel on an axle. The device, once spinning, tends to resist changes to its orientation due to the angular momentum of the wheel. In physics this phenomenon is also known as gyroscopic inertia or rigidity in space." - Wikipedia

The gyroscope in our logo represents all of the following:
- Fun - it's a great toy!
- Navigation - it is a serious navigational tool.
- Magic - it shouldn't be able to do what it does, but there it is.
- Balance - perfect, all the time.
- Beauty - it is pretty, isn't it?
- Energy - it is energy, controlled, that lets it do what it does.
- Stillness (Peace) - it moves, yet stays still...amazing!

Michael Stammer
In 1975 Michael Stammer graduated with one of the first degrees in Music/Dance performance awarded by the University of Texas at El Paso. He was immediately hired by Ann Etgen and Bill Atkinson to dance for the Dallas Metropolitan Ballet, then by George Skibine to perform with the Dallas Ballet.
After leaving the dance profession he did a brief stint in business management before turning full time to sales in 1981. Michael was one of the first people "on the street" selling telephone services after the break up of AT&T. He was soon hired by the largest provider of accounting services to small business worldwide to build sales in the North Texas area. Within 18 months he became the top rep nationwide leading the field of over 450 offices nationally. Michael was personally responsible for millions of dollars in fees in addition to managing the sales team in the North Texas area.
In 1994 he was asked to join one of the most prestigious sales training firms in the country and served as both a trainer and sales person. He left to start his own company in 1998, dubbing it JUMProductions in 1999.
Michael is a noted trainer, speaker, coach, marketer, networker, author, and teleclass leader with clients from Southern California to the United Kingdom.
