One of our pilot dealers, Adam Dovi, from Dovi Window Designs, Inc., shares his experience working with Diamond Glass in our WINDOOR products.

From loading trucks as a teen, to the role of COO, today we meet Mike DeSoto. He and his team of incredible leaders across the enterprise keep the gears turning, literally. We discuss carrying on the legacy of our founders, Pete DeSoto, Jim Milgard, and Rod Hershberger by doing things right, every day, everywhere.

When your marketing career begins with a team of two, it’s fun to hear what things look like ten years later. In today’s episode, we meet Tony Matter, SVP of Marketing.

Making things better is something we are all craving, right? A solid IT structure serves a critical business role as well as provides solutions to its users. Today we meet Vinod Nair, our Chief Information Officer, and he sheds some light on what his teams are working on. We appreciate his effort to fly in from Tacoma, and his attitude in regards to "doubling the fun". You will enjoy meeting Vinod.

We have been delighted to connect with a kindred spirit in our enlarged organization. Today we introduce Shawn Martin, CX Manager for MITER, who oversees the sales training and events.

Learning is a fun endeavor - and so is this episode - enjoy!

Our team had the great privilege of spending time with the students from The Haven Academy, a local school for students with disabilities. PGT was included in their Manufacturing Summer Camp, and they spent two weeks with us! They learned so much about windows, doors, manufacturing, as well as job skills. There are two episodes rolled into one - we hope you enjoy hearing from these incredible students and their instructors.

On today's episode we meet Mike, Senior Vice President of Supply Chain. He splits his time between Harrisburg and Venice, and oversees a huge segment of our business. After twenty-two years with MITER, he shares the most important factor in success: relationships. You'll enjoy meeting Mike!

It was an honor to spend some time and to learn more about Matt. You'll hear about his beginnings, his family (lots of middle school energy!), and his attitude around leadership. Matt shares how the MITER acquisition of PGTI is a dream come true. As our CEO, his "tone from the top" is one of humility, sincerity, and confidence as we progress forward together.

It's really amazing to meet folks whose responsibilities just doubled, and to learn they are cool, calm and excited to meet the tasks head-on. Today we meet our CFO, and yes, it's his real name, and no, he doesn't work for the CIA. The great energy from our conversation really comes through - enjoy!

Today we begin a new series, and really, a new era. New leadership calls for new music. And with the new, we remain focused on providing education on the products and services to our ever-growing customer groups. In this episode, we meet Brock Snyder, Chief Commercial Officer of MITER Brands. You'll find that he is smart, gracious, and full of excitement as we integrate our teams together.
