The company up to that time had a little more than five thousand square feet of equipment. The owner’s daughter and son in law came to collaborate with us a year later. Together over the next five years we grew the company to twenty thousand square feet and a million dollars in sales. I started as an installers helper and quickly took my own crew so we could add more sales. The next five years saw doubling growth and a larger warehouse, fifty thousand square feet. In the next two years that expanded to sixty thousand square feet and an office in Bend, Oregon and in Las Vegas. I began selling full time and ended up in the Bend office managing and selling until I left the company due to differences. I earned a degree in events over those 16 years and commend the owners for allowing me to grow with them. Show less
