Erik Hoss SB Audio Years in the Industry: 10 Top 100 Installer Why Tey Deserve Recognition: “This is hard for me. I’ve always had a prob- lem blowing my own horn among peers.
It’s not like selling a customer on your skills. This year, though, I’ve stepped my game up with different methods of doing things. Things I’ve learned through either going to trainings or simply researching on industry-specific forums. Little things like, I’ve done away with tee taps. I’ve started soldering on all of my installations. I’ve gotten into different ways of personally making myself better.”
Andrew Evens Industry Auto Designs Years in the Industry: 16 Top 100 Installer Why Tey Deserve Recognition: “This is my life and my passion, it’s not just a
job to me when I walk in the door every day. I make it a point to challenge myself daily. My clients can see this shine through in my work as well as the way I run Industry Auto Designs. Since day one opening my business, 90% of my clientele is word of mouth. I’ve been in the automotive industry since I was old enough to work with my father, and now I’m living my dream.”
Matt Schaeffer Safe and Sound Mobile Electronics Years in the Industry: 10 Top 100 Installer Why Tey Deserve Recognition: “There are important factors that must be met in order to be considered for an award like
this. Number one is passion. It’s why we enter this field and why we stay in the business. If you don’t love what you do, you can’t reach your full potential in your trade. Number two is execution. Without execution, you have no way of standing out with your competition. Attention to detail is my main bullet point of exe- cution. Number three is versatility. If you specialize in one area of our field, you’re not 100% valuable.”
Brad Marvin Cartronix Years in the Industry: 13 Top 100 Installer Why Tey Deserve Recognition: “After 13 years, I never really thought of myself
as being somebody who should be in the Top 100. I think in the last couple of years I’ve grown and been able to help people more. I’ve been able to listen to what others say about me; maybe I’m just too hard on myself. Maybe it’s time to see what I’ve really got.”
Jess Hogan Inception Audio Years in the Industry: 15 Top 100 Installer Why Tey Deserve Recognition: “I should be part of the Top 100 because I feel I belong there with the work that
I do, with the training I partake in and help out with. I think training’s a huge part of this industry and I think a lot of guys do it and a lot of guys miss it. I try not to miss any training, there’s always something to learn. There’s always somebody better. There’s always something more you can be doing that you may not even know about.”
