It surely is going to be a Happy New Year!

I’m looking at a brand new year and fresh approaches to communication. For starters, we’ve retooled our website making it easier than ever to identify the quality brands we represent. Since a web site is never really finished, I hope you’ll visit often to learn about new products and special or seasonal offers. We’ll also be on other social channels.

In my blogs, I’ll be commenting on subjects of interest in our hearth, patio and barbecue industries. As posted in our About Us tab on the site, I have been in nearly all facets of this industry for decades and am proud to have so many good friends and smart colleagues in my life It’s one of the reasons I am on the Board of Directors of my industry’s association that governs the three states of California, Nevada, and Hawaii. I have volunteered often over the years because it feels good to give back to an industry that has allowed me to raise and educate my family.

There’s much to say about the challenges in the marketplace. But I want to keep these blogs kinda short and speak of the tremendous opportunities I see for my retail customers in the year ahead. They are all well prepared to serve homeowners with the finest products and dependable service they deserve.

I welcome a call with your comments.
