Well I
just completed  my first year out of the shop and into my new role here at
Sterling Surfaces. Its be quite an adjustment from calling the shots in the in
the shop for 30 years , to an upstairs office job. At first I hated the job
change. But as the days and weeks have passed its been easier. The biggest
adjustment was not being involved in minute by minute chaos that a shop can be.
That was fun.

 

 

 

Now I drink tea,
wear office clothes, price jobs, and help shape the future of our company with
new innovative ideas.  It’s also good to see life from the other side of the
tracks. I can see what challenges our Industry has in a very different
perspective.

 

Looking forward to
this year I have goals I want to reach but also goals for my company and our
Industry. 

 

More
later.

Congrats Jon,
Well deserved, 30 years! Where does all that time go? Look forward to seeing where Sterling goes with you “upstairs”. Although I think you have been there for a long time already.

[Andy Graves]

It is interesting seeing both sides.

Congratulations on your promotion. At least I hope it was a promotion.

[Tom M]

Wow!
So what you’re saying is you were doing all the social media and promotion stuff in addition to a shop manager’s responsibilities?

I don’t know how you found the time or the energy. Chopping wood, perhaps????

Congrats, Jon.

[Jon Olson]

Thanks Guys,  yes
Tom I was. chopping wood does help it clears the mind and a great form of
exercise.  What happen was the Kitchen end of the business saw the results
Sterling was getting and wanted in So my job changes include sales and
marketing for Sterling and marketing for Kitchen Associates. As well as web-site
development for both companies.

I would say we all know and love the projects that come out of Sterling because of Jon. He is the best Public Relations specialist I have ever seen.
