I joined Oregon Generators in 2024 as the first leadership hire. Oregon Generators was the first new market expansion for Washington Generators, the largest residential home generator service company in Washington State.
I was connected to the opportunity through Will Smith of the Acquiring Minds podcast. I met Will through his podcast and helped connected him with some entreprenuers who ended up being early guests on the show. In 2024, Will started an Executive/Operator staffing agency "Smith List" off the success of his show. I had been searching for a business to buy for almost 18-months at the time and was eager to get back into operating. Will introduced me to Corey Gilgan and I was the first leadership hire from Smith List.
Oregon Generators was an incredible experience. Corey is a fantastic leader, and I learned a ton as we grew the company to 10+ employees, 5-vehicles, a warehouse, lucrative big box contracts and financing terms, and >$300K in monthly revenue by month-6.
I left Oregon Generators at the end of 2024 after hiring an Admin team and a new Operations Manager.
