As the owner/operator of our window treatments business, Tom leads with a passion for excellence. He sets the vision, manages operations, and ensures every customer receives exceptional service.
Yvonne, affectionately known as "Myvonne" in our family—a playful nod to how she's "mine" and not for sharing—is an invaluable part of our team. As my niece and Forrest's cousin, she handles the vital tasks that keep our business running smoothly. While Forrest takes care of installations and I focus on sales and warranty repairs, Yvonne manages everything else with impressive skill and dedication. Her professionalism and personable nature make her a joy to work with, and you'll find her an excellent point of contact.
Though Forrest and I are based in the Springs, Yvonne operates from her home office in Parker. She may come across as if she's my boss when you speak with her, but she’s not, I don’t think—she's a key player who ensures everything runs like a well-oiled machine.
In addition to her work with us, Yvonne is a devoted wife and mother of two amazing children, whom she also home-schools. This commitment to her family and their education is something I greatly admire, and I encourage her to handle her duties with The Blind Man around her homeschooling schedule. While she typically starts her office hours in the afternoon, Yvonne prioritizes checking phone messages, so if you reach out in the morning, she'll get back to you the same day.
Forrest, my eldest son, is a true gem in our team. With thousands of window coverings installed under his belt, having him work alongside me is a real blessing. His work is consistently prompt, fast, and efficient, earning him frequent compliments from our clients. When your order arrives, Forrest will personally call to schedule your installation date. If your packages happen to arrive in less-than-ideal condition (as in maybe the only thing to survive shipping is the packing slip), Forrest, who doesn’t relish delivering bad news, will usually have Yvonne break it to you. Fortunately, this isn’t a common occurrence.
You’ll find Forrest’s personality as engaging as his work. He often gets playful "Forrest Gump" comments due to his name—though I suspect it might secretly annoy him, he keeps it to himself, so feel free to keep the jokes coming! Outside of work, Forrest is a passionate rock and roller, playing lead and rhythm guitars, and crafting both music and lyrics. One of his band’s songs has racked up over a million listens on Spotify! Recently, he’s embarked on a solo music career, and while I’m incredibly proud of his talents, I have to admit I’d love to keep him at The Blind Man a little longer. Is that a bit selfish? Maybe, but I can’t help but cherish having him on our team.
