How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Our president first worked with a large conglomerate located in Minnesota as a field engineer on roughly 40 products. Drove up to 300-400 miles a day to be the "FIRE PUTer OUTer", that is to repair, replace or correct a equipment problem. Many technologies were held proprieties of the company. Electronics and surrounding mechanics and exclusive technics were in use. He went on to become a micro-electronics engineer (micro-chips) with other large conglomerates and developed chips of which are still in use today in data and reconstruction of data over the internet. His work in under-water transducer profiles was a factor in the method of creating stealth paint for the government submarine fleet.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We try to give our clients the best system product we can deliver. Our service calls are our lowest form of income with 2011 service income at 0.01% of total income. We had recently repaired a system that was installed 17 years ago and on its first service call. It had many issues within design to contend with, including being installed on salt water shores. This is the norm not the abnormal of our work provided.
