It’s not like we’re letting this get to our head or anything…

Here’s our first celebrity endorsement:
Rainn Wilson

Rainn (who plays Dwight on The Office) also made a Hoekstra:
Went on a hike with my son & had 2 furiously protect him from Mosquitos. Now I know how the dad from Cormac McCarthys ‘The Road’ felt. – @rainnwilson

Rainn, have your people call our people. And we’ll make it happen.

Also, this magazine (something to do with watches?) wrote about us:
Time Magazine

Hoek-on, Twitter.
