With the market trending in an upward fash-
ion, it certainly seems as though they will

product line accordingly,” he says. “We are
actually the only media player that can dis-
play Mandarin, simple Chinese and Korean
characters, so there’s just so much we can do
internationally. Right now we’re totally fo-
cused on North America, but the demand
has forced our hand to go into other markets
overseas and we’re excited to do it.”
Admirably, Larry indicates that FIRE-FX
will become increasingly supportive of their
“brothers in arms” as the company continues
to flourish in the coming years.
“We’re a veteran-owned and operated busi-
ness, so we’re going to continue showing our
support anyway we can, whether it’s hiring
them when they get out or supporting them
while they’re in,” he affirms. “We’re also
strong supporters of the PTSD Foundation
of America and CampHope, their treatment
facility in Houston. We have donated equip-
ment to setup media servers in temporary
housing and child care facilities for soldiers
and their families to enjoy while they’re stay-
ing there. Our bond to the military is still
strong and still very important to us, so that’s
something we’ll always do.”
