Employees
Our company is growing quickly!
What once started with handful of employees over 5 years ago has quickly grown to a formidable 30+ team. Our website will help you see who’s who at SunWest but here is run-down of the latest changes in personnel:

• Brent Larson has been promoted to Product Service Manager. Jay Heck, the previous Product Service Manager resigned his position after much thought to pursue a personal dream and has relocated to North Carolina. Brent has been with SunWest for several years as a Service Technician and has many years experience in the industry. Although we were sad to see Jay go, we are happy to have Brent fill the roll.
• Wayne Bergin joined SunWest as the new Territory Sales Manager for Outdoor Products. Wayne is working with Greg Stamm in the Arizona market and has “taken the bull by the horns” to promote these great products. He has an aggressive schedule of events and trainings for the remainder of the year and you can expect to see him in your area soon!
• Tom Stamm joins the Warehouse Department. Tom, who was serving our country in Iraq before being stationed in the States for the past year recently moved back to Arizona and joined the SunWest team.

We’ve improved our showroom once again by adding tile through the main showroom floor. The showroom has a brighter more open feel to it and we are enjoying the new look. In addition, we are remodeling our Viking Outdoor products section to include the stainless steel cabinets. In our secondary showroom area, we have a complete wall of Best by Broan hoods with a great display of what this product line has to offer. Stop by our showroom and take a look!
