Van holds a degree in Public Relations from the University of Alabama where he was a place kicker on the Crimson Tide Football Team.
He now serves the company by managing product development, including research, design, prototype development, promotion and advertising-all key elements in motorhome sales.
Van is also in charge of manufacturing's creative and innovative efforts. One personal motto is: "If it isn't broken, break it; and change it for the better."
"Competition is the keenest in the history of the industry," commented Van. "Customers are the reason we are in business. If we continue to meet their needs, they will keep us in business. It is my job to pay special attention to what customers are telling the motorhome marketplace."
Away from the office, Van conducts an Alabama kicking school each summer. He is an excellent fisherman, yet his multiple roles in the company have allowed cobwebs to form on his tackle boxes. Van, his wife and children reside in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. |
