Paul LaNue

President

Career: I have been an entrepreneur since a teenager, first cleaning restaurant kitchens then moving 'West Young Man' and building a commercial carpet cleaning company. I moved into sales with Universal Roofing in 1992 until they closed. I spent the next 7 years with Scott Roofing. In 2001 I was recruited to help build Lyons Roofing. After 4 years revenues increased over 400% at which time my wife and I purchased the company in March of 2005.

Personal Background: I was born and raised in Miami Beach, but spent much of my early years with my family in Barranquilla, Columbia. I came to Arizona in 1976. I have 1 sister and brother-in-law in Florida, 2 grown children and one in HS. My wife is my partner in life and crime!

Likes/Dislikes: I love deep sea fishing, cooking and eating it! I am the grilled fish master.

Personal Background

Rhonda LaNue

Executive Vice President

Career: Varied and diverse. I waited tables well into my 20's and loved it. I began my career with Sprint when they were still owned by Southern Pacific Railroad and had about 700 employees total! I spent the next 13 years in the telecommunications industry in sales. I went back to school and pursued my degree in Organizational Communications with a minor in Spanish from ASU West graduating in 2000. I spent 5 years in software training and loved it until buying a roofing company!

Personal Background: I was born and raised in NY and don't think I talk funny! I have 2 sisters back east. I moved to AZ in 1978, met the love of my life in '88, and forfeited half my brain cells to my son in '94. (At least I knew where they went!)

Likes/Dislikes: I love animals, especially my doggies, quiet time at home, my garden, meditation and my friends. I am passionate about life and education, common sense, morals and values. I dislike lack of responsibility, anchovies, bad drivers and litterbugs!

Ann Pepper

Director of Business Development

Career: I have been in some form of sales or business development for 25+ years. I can't really be that old! I love Sales, what other career choice allows you to dig in and learn such varied industries. I have sold food products to chefs with US Foods, Candy to distributors for M&M/Mars, Clinical supplies to dentists for Smarthealth, Cosmetic Medical Devices to plastic surgeons for Medicis Pharmaceuticals and now Roofing Systems to commercial clients of Lyons Roofing. What a ride. Truth is, the critical factors for success in all of these endeavors remain the same. Work hard for your clients, care about their needs, be honest and forthright, do what you say you are going to do and you will never have to ask for the business. I am proud to work for Lyons Roofing as it is clear we share the same values.

Personal Background: Yo, I am from the Bronx. Yes, I was born and raised in New York City. 30 years later…millions of people follow me everywhere I go. I love living here- although I have my heart set on a summer home in Canon Beach Oregon someday. I graduated from ASU with a BS in business management and marketing. Go Devils. My husband Jene and I have been married for 20 years and have two great kids, Andrew and Jack. Jack often spends time in the summer at Camp Lyons and his favorite thing- books! Andrew is a self proclaimed band geek. He is on the drum line at Chaparral HS and constantly is beating his mental song on his own chest. We also own a small café in North Scottsdale called the Dragonfly Café. No it is not Asian food- it is New American cuisine and it is really my husband's mistress in a way.

Likes/Dislikes:I don't like generally, negative people. I find them exhausting. I don't like Okra. Oh, and I don't like that I can't drive in the carpool lane with my hybrid- oh the travesty of it all. I like to cook, but not to clean. I wouldn't call myself an artist, but I do like to do crafty stuff. Our family shares a passion for the National Parks and hiking. I like to read, but don't seem to find the time. I like to laugh to tears most of all.

I enjoy numbers and working on problems with real answers.

Personal Background: I have spent my entire life in the Chicago suburbs until July, 2011. We could no longer tolerate long cold winters staying inside and shoveling snow. So we (2 kids, 2 cars & 2 dogs) moved to Arizona. No more Mr. Conservative I guess.

Katherine Warwick

Sales Specialist

Career: Customers are smart. They don’t really need me to “sell&rdqou; them anything… but they need me to “tell” them about the various products and services about which they are inquiring. I love helping smart consumers learn about what we offer and providing the information needed to make the right decision. It is very gratifying to help someone understand the value and importance of investing in their own safety and security.

Being a C.S.S (Catholic School Survivor), I invoke St. Anthony on a daily basis to help find my keys, cell phone, sanity, etc. I have been in Arizona since 1992 and am still looking for a decent soft pretzel and hoagie… I guess St. Anthony is not the patron saint of Philadelphia food cravings!

Likes/Dislikes: Dislikes- the desecration of the English language… its new-clee-ar, not nuke-you-lar! Likes: just about everything else- could live every single day eating pizza and would love to go RV-ing across the U.S. with my husband when we kick the kids out at 18 to go to college.

Family: I have been blessed to be married to my husband Steve, for over 15 years and we have 3 awesome children; Danielle, Henry and Eleanor. Nala the sweet boxer; Moomoo the evil cat and 24 disgusting fish round out our food chain. My mom also lives with us and she always says that the only reason she had children was to get some grandchildren… whom she adores. She adores us… we adore her.

Testimonials

Sama (Samana) LaNue

Career: I have just become the proud mascot of Lyons Roofing.

Personal Background: I am a rescued potcake from Harbor Island. Potcakes are the names given to all the native island street dogs in the Bahamas. There are many websites on us, but basically we were named that because our diet consists of the bottom of the pot of the staple Bahamian dish known as 'peas and rice'. They are pigeon peas mixed with rice and oh it's yummy.
Luckily, in 2005 some Americans who visited the island often happened to see me in the arms of a local Brilander (short for the locals on Harbor Island) who was trying to find me a good home. I am forever grateful to Ithalia Johnson for facilitating my immigration.
The day these Americans arrived they happened to drive by on their golf cart only to see Ithalia holding me. I was napping (I was just about 2 months old). I just opened one eye and it was love at first site, for both of us. Here I am now in the loving comfort of my adoptive home, with 2 siblings.

Likes/Dislikes: I love sleeping on a real bed, having chicken for dinner and plenty of treats. My favorite thing (even though I know it's mischievous is helping myself to the pantry. I know I'm not supposed to, but I also know I am unconditionally loved, and in the end my human parents are smarter than I am.
I dislike my older sister thinking she's always the boss.
