Today we’d like to introduce you to Charles Redfearn.
Charles, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
My father and I started our business in Tulsa, Oklahoma in December of 1982. Our very first account was Harvard Tower Bank and a monthly rate of $3050. Without outside financing our company now grosses over $35 million per year and we operate in 8 states. We are now in the process of transitioning to the third generation.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Our history has been filled with good and hard times over the last 35 years. By keeping our focus on our collective family, we helped each other through the hard times. We have endured 2 major rescissions, the loss of my wife and sister to fatal illnesses, and numerous governmental changes and imposed regulations and tax laws. Our company has grown through organic sales as well as 9 acquisitions.
