Speaker of the Day: Steve Kolesnik talked carpets: He said he always gets 3 questions: 1) How much does cleaning cost? 25 cents/sq ft or $3/stair; 2) How long does they take to dry? 2-3 hours if Berber, 3-4 hours if pile, 5 hrs tops normally; 3) Do spots come back? He does a great job so they shouldn’t come back. He prepares the carpet and uses a hot water extraction method to get the dirt up. The process used is important and chemicals aren’t as effective.

Lake Tahoe Business by Referral Network

March 21, 2012

MINUTES – General Meeting

Attendance: George Sariego, David Smith, Gil Garcia, Gina Beal, Sherri Hughes , Richard Kahn, Brian Cohen, Joe Zarachoff, Doug Rousse, Tim Schultz, Maggie Wattle, Don Elston, France Carreau, Kae Reed, Dan Spano, Carol Daum, Steve Kolesnik, Scot Hansen, Paula Peterson

Speaker of the Day: Scot Hansen, Pioneer Appliance

Scot graduated high school in ’79 and joined the service. Got lucky when the opportunity arose to go to college through the military. He changed his field to refrigeration and air conditioning, became a trainer where he had 80 guys under him. He took advantage of all the schools that were offered. He was hired by Sears even before he was out of the military. In 1991 someone told him to go to Tahoe and start a business. He sold everything, bought a mobile home and brought his family of 5 to the lake. He started Pioneer Appliance Repair. His business partner became a “religious zealot” who tried to change the world and convert the local drug addicts from their office so they parted ways. Scot joined LTBRN in 1994 which helped him grow and gave him a great philosophy on customer care. Between him and Leticia they have 6 children now. Oldest son is a medical tech in Army. Next one is a daughter who goes to college and works with the San Diego Sports Arena. Next daughter now has 3 kids and is an Iraqi war vet. Next child is a son who is an intelligence officer in Korea. Next daughter is in school and works and the youngest, a son, is a STHS grad and works for Pioneer.

Scot says the group gives us role models and goals to be as good or better. It helped him change his business philosophy and he is now servicing around the lake and valley.
