Account Manager

Chad has always been a tinkerer and problem solver. He explains, “Learning from my father at an early age, the more you learn and try to do and fix things, the more you can do for yourself when a need arises. I have always enjoyed working on electrical projects, both AC and DC, and have helped many friends and family over the years with projects. I share my father’s love for woodworking and building, and I enjoy teaching my boys many of the things he taught me.” He is a firm believer that sales and service must go hand in hand if you truly have your customer’s best interests in mind. Sales drives businesses all around the world, but the businesses that stand the test of time are deeply rooted in providing excellent service to their customers.
