A Plano mortgage company, the Tuttle Group, is embracing all the tourney talk.
“It gets us talking about things besides just work,” owner Andy Tuttle said.

“When you work together as much as we do and as hard as we work together it is important to have camaraderie and I think it really drives the competitive spirit,” Tuttle said. “We have a lot of competitors here [and] it drives that spirit and reminds everybody of that competitive spirit.”
