Bio
Richard ( R.O. ) Hunton
Dick Kriete worked for me as a senior account executive skilled in the sale of HVAC equipment and systems. He had an excellent reputation in the industry as a systems engineer and relationship builder and was one of our most successful sales engineers. We have tried on three separate occasions to rehire Dick but he did not want to leave the Pacific coast which was our loss for Dick Kriete is an outstanding individual.
Tom Tillman
I worked with Dick Kriete at TAS in the early 2000's. He was a veteran in that market, and I was new; and he generously shared much insight with me. He was well-liked by the company founders. He was instrumental in developing, and then closing, a large and important west-coast customer; but he worked graciously with the whole team. That deal provided much follow-on business for years; becoming a milestone in what was then a new company. Dick has a great sales and technical background; and customers liked and trusted him. I enjoyed working alongside him.
