Hi, I’m Vela and I am the mascot here at Giveback XP. I was born in Kentucky, spent a few years in Austin, TX and Nashville, TN, but back home now. I like to begin each day with a good bone and hit the team up for 8-10 walks per day. I did not go to college, but I do have my “Master”! My greatest skill is barking during the most inopportune times; usually when my “paw-leagues” are on the phone closing a deal with a client.
