Company Operated By Former Enlisted Military Members of Three Different Eras

In its executive ranks, 60 year old candle company finds success in using former enlisted military members.

HUNTSVILLE, AL (PRWEB) May 4, 2004 --With millions of former military members living in the US, once theyve done their duty you might wonder, where do they go? Some enter government and others the established private work force. There is yet another group of them that choose to band together and go at it alone, becoming entrepreneurs running companies like Los Tomases Candle Makers LLC. Part of what makes this particular company so interesting is that its leadership team includes three former U.S. military members from three different eras.

Los Tomases Candle Makers LLC, a sixty year old scented candle manufacturing company headquartered in Huntsville Alabama, fills three of its four leadership positions with former enlisted military members. At the head of the company you find Bill Peer, President and CEO. Peer was a sergeant in the U.S. Army during the Gulf War I era, working in military intelligence. Then there is Lamar Sloan, the Chief Manufacturing Officer, who served in the Air Force during the Korean War. In between these two eras, you have Mary Sloan who served as a Marine during Vietnam. While none of the three ever saw combat, each one is proud of the contribution they made for their wars effort. Each understands the importance of setting goals and priorities and never quitting before their tasks are done. With each of us having served in the military, there is a certain level of respect that is automatically granted .... we each know that the other member will drive hard until their objective is achieved, and that they wont quit until theyve won" says Peer.

You can find former military members in all walks of life. Former military people make excellent employees and leaders as they wont let artificial obstacles detract them from completing their tasks. As Peer points out, when you are in the service, there is no option of just quitting so you learn that if you persevere, you will overcome."
