Alyson has witnessed the addition of numerous energy saving and energy-efficient products into Sungate's portfolio during her four-year tenure with the Company. The benefits of each product are significant, both environmentally and economically. As Sungate's VP, Finance & Operations, pragmatism reigns as there is no better incentive to reducing our carbon footprint than saving money.

Still, there is much we can learn from other countries that harness the power of nature and convert these resources into renewable energy sources. This, combined with conservation efforts and new technological developments, holds the key to reducing our dependence upon consumable energy products and lessening our impact upon the environment.

Alyson holds a BA, MBA, MA & MA Cert. with a background in Finance and Operations spanning from Treasury in a Fortune 500 Company and investment banking in New York to her current position with Sungate. Her travels have led her to remote destinations that promote alternative energy applications such as geothermal energy production in Iceland, wind power farms in New Mexico and environmental conservation in the Galapagos

Tim Larson is Sungate Energy Solutions Vice President of Production. He has been in the home improvement business for over 25 years. Tim’s teenage years were spent working on a farm and as such was afforded the opportunity to learn many lessons about hard work and solid work ethics. After Finishing High School Tim immediately went to work doing construction work and as most young people do bounced around from plumbing to electric to framing but ultimately found his niche in the finish carpentry trade.

In the early 1990 Tim hung up his tool belt and took a job with Sears home Improvements as a Field supervisor. His roll there was to take critical measurements and build material take offs so that the company would have its best chance of profitability on each job. Timothy quickly came up the ranks there and was given production management roles and eventually was given a regional operations management role as Sears deployed more home improvement offices in the western United States. It was during those years that he was charged with securing over 13 different state required contracting licenses. After seven years with Sears Home Improvements Timothy was promoted into a Vice President role and help solidify many territories across the country into well performing profit centers. Timothy finally left the Sears organization after thirteen years to start his career with Sungate.

In May 2002 Tim assumed his role as the Vice President of Production for Sungate. It’s been a great ride and more then anything he appreciates the opportunity that has been granted to him continue his education in the home improvement industry by getting certified through NARI as a Kitchen and Bath Remodeler as well as a General Remodeler. Our VP of Production always encourages those around him to always look for the opportunity to continue education whenever possible.

In General Tim’s philosophy with business is the same that he has in life and that is that you create your own destiny by paying attention and doing the little things that make a difference everyday.

I am the Marketing Manager here at Sungate Energy Solutions. I have been with the company for five years now and I can honestly say that I would not want to work any where else. I started at the bottom and through the years worked my way up to the top.

This company is the kind of place where if you have talent and want to succeed it does not go unnoticed. I went from making cold calls to working in our scheduling department.

After a year I became manager of the scheduling department. This department is sort of the hub of the company. They are the middle man between marketing and sales. After two years of managing that department I was promoted to Assistant Marketing Manager. After working hard and proving my devotion to the success of the company I became the Marketing Manager which is my current position.

I went to school for criminal justice and when I finished I thought that was the field I would go into. My enjoyment and level of satisfaction that I got from working with Sungate quickly changed my mind. Not only is this a fun and exciting place to work, it also a company that you know at the end of the day you have made a difference in peoples lives and the future of our planet.

It is very gratifying to work for a place where you know, for every customer gained, is a contribution to the future of our planet. All of products are top of the line, energy efficient products. Our product line will result in our customers getting a 100% return on investment, not many companies that can make that claim. The entire staff, from the bottom up, is devoted to pioneering the push for green products for homes in America. This company is not just about making money. Sungate is dedicated to the future of our customers and our planet. All of our products, at the end of the day, puts money back in our customers pocket, every time I think about that it puts a smile on my face.

My next position with the company will hopefully be Marketing Director. I truly hope that I finish my working days here at Sungate and continue the push to save our planet.
