PAiA Welcomes Brad Martin as New General Manager
Message from Linda Kay Simonton to the PAiA Community
I am pleased to announce that I have asked a former employee and long-time friend to PAiA, Brad Martin, to return as General Manager of the operation. Although this is news to much of the PAiA community, Brad’s involvement has been in the planning stages for nearly two years as John and I began to plan for our eventual retirement.
Brad brings a number of skills to PAiA. Beyond his management experience, Brad is a registered PE with many years experience as an electronics technician. He has done product design and development for many consumer and industrial products including numerous audio products. Most importantly, I believe he shares the core values for product concept, customer service and dedication to education which guided John and me as we built PAiA.
Brad is already engaged in a flurry of activitiy to simplify operations, increase promotion and product development, and help customers get more out of the rich experience of building PAiA kits. He will also help in Scott Lee’s customer service operations, allowing Scott to devote more time to design work and experimentation.
I know you will come to support Brad in his new position, forgive his growing pains as he learns on the job, and enjoy the new things he will have coming for you in the next year.
As always, I thank you for your support – for 40 years now – and for many more years to come.
