Stress Therapist

Charlie Chapman Cummins joined our team as a Stress Therapist in August of 2009. Every morning, without fail, he visits each and every person at NSI. After a relaxing nap on his pillow under the desk, he goes out to comfort and soothe the shattered nerves of the NSI team who have been busy battling the carriers. His favored spot is on a lap, and he makes sure that everyone gets ample time to hold and pet him. A late day game of catch in the office and then back to the pillow for another nap.
