Lee began his professional journey at Perfection Supply in 1995, a local provider of fireplaces and insulation, beginning in inside sales before advancing to an outside sales position. His eight-year tenure in sales was marked by overwhelming success which lead him to pioneer a specialized role aimed at expanding the burgeoning insulation division. This role saw Lee masterminding a comprehensive array of operations, including procurement, scheduling, customer service, installation, IT development, and sales education and training, among others.

From 2003 to 2009, under Lee's stewardship, insulation sales soared from a monthly $250k/month to an impressive $2M/month, even amidst intense national competition. After a battle with the recession, Lee transitioned out of his role at Perfection in 2014 while maintaining a $1.2M/month in insulation sales.

After a short stint with a local energy consultant, Lee was struggling with not being able to “do the work” and fix the problems he was diagnosing.

Sales have been a cornerstone of Lee's career, and this entrepreneurial venture was no exception.

Beyond driving sales initiatives, Lee's true impact lies in fostering team growth, setting the strategic direction for the company, and crafting a roadmap for sustained success. His approach involves setting bold, realistic growth targets, alongside recruiting and mentoring a team capable of realizing these objectives.
