Bill Whiteley

Commercial Project Manager

Say hello to Bill, the commercial project manager who's as elusive as a ghost! He's always out in the field, managing our largest and most complex projects, and is rarely seen in the office. But when he is in the office, he's always got a new story to tell about his latest project.

A master of organization and attention to detail, he's got a system for everything, and he always knows where everything is and what needs to be done. He's the one who makes sure that our crews of commercial installers are on schedule and always working to the highest standards.

Bill is the ultimate field manager, always on the go, and always on the lookout for new projects to tackle. He's a master of multitasking, juggling multiple projects at once, and always delivering results. He's also known for his ability to navigate through any obstacles that come his way, and always finds a way to make it work.

Brian Strock

Heyyy Brian! This man can do it all. As the manager of the Dixon warehouse, he's the one who keeps things running smoothly.

Yet, he's not just a warehouse manager... he's also a master of commercial sales and a jack of all trades who can be found doing carpentry work around the office. Whether he's fixing a broken tool or building a new desk, he's always happy to lend a hand.

What really sets Brian apart is his sense of humor. No matter how busy he is, he always has a good one-liner ready to go. Even on the toughest days, he can make the staff laugh and lift their spirits.

Brian is also known for having made the office his second home. He's always around the office, though you might have a hard time finding him since he bounces around so much.
