Brian Estes with Estes Services

00:00 /

Brian Estes is the Vice President at Estes Services.

Estes’ mission is to carry on the tradition of integrity and quality service that was started in 1949 when Estes was founded. They will always strive to employ the best people and provide the most efficient, cost effective service and equipment, as well as offer the best warranties available to their customers. Since their company was founded in 1949, literally hundreds of heating and air companies have come and gone in the metro Atlanta area. Most fail because the original owner did not cultivate the right management team and there was no one to take his place. Often a business retires with the owner! Luckily their company was able to make the transition from the first generation (N. B. Estes) to the second (Tommy Estes) and thrive since 1949. Most second generations don’t make it but they are in the unique position to have the third generation (Brian Estes) in place along with a management team centered around him and General Manager John Waldorf that will allow the company to continue an even greater growth path than ever before. They’re excited about the future of Estes Services and you can be sure that if you allow them to work for you they will do everything possible to be sure you receive the highest level of service – their reputation depends on it! Based on their volume they are in the top 5% of all the heating and air contractors in the country but they are still a family owned and operated business and will never lose the personal contact they now have with their customers. If you ever need to talk to ‘the owner’, give one of them a call because if something is not right they want to know about it! They sincerely care about their valued clients and would love for you to be part of the ‘Estes family’.

Drew French and Bucky Cook with Your Pie

00:00 /

Drew French is the Founder and President of Your Pie. After experiencing the brick oven style of pizza on the island of Ischia while on his honeymoon, Drew was inspired to bring the authentic taste of Italy to the United States. Drew put his love of gourmet food and his business degree from the University of Georgia to work and opened up his first Your Pie location in Athens in 2008 and leads the company with new ingredients, innovative recipes and choices to create a one-of-a-kind experience with traditional roots. The Your Pie family now includes 46 franchises across the country. Connect with Drew on LinkedIn.

Bucky Cook is Chief Executive Officer of Your Pie. He has extensive experience in the restaurant and franchising industries since 1984, when he joined Heavenly Ham as a startup and led the brand for 15 years as CEO. He helped take the ham retailer from 10 to 230 units before the brand was sold to competitor HoneyBaked Ham. In 2010, Bucky became the CEO of Your Pie, a new and in-demand fast casual pizza concept. He loved the idea so much, a year later he became a franchisee himself. Having the experience and practice from both sides of the operation, Bucky was able to grow a relatively new brand to include 42 locations expanding out of the Southeast and across the country.
