Wayne Gray – Founder, President, Consultant
Wayne Gray founded Harmony Blinds and Shutters in 2004. Prior to that, Wayne had spent most of his adult life in Texas managing commercial photo supply stores. Asked how he made the leap between photo supplies and window coverings, Wayne cites a childhood interest in home design and architecture and the desire to build a business for himself. He also mentions the enjoyment he gets working directly with consumers – something he had lost as a manager. In all of his career history, Wayne developed a reputation for top-notch customer service.
Why San Diego? The “bug” was planted during Wayne’s childhood. He grew up in Utah and his Orem High School band played here for a music educator’s convention. The detour through Texas is a long story, but the film-based commercial photo supply business was playing-out. Wayne saw that as an opportunity for a new beginning!
Besides decades of real-life business management and customer service experience, Wayne holds a BS degree in Business Management from Le Tourneau University.
Brian Gray – Vice President, Installations
The last name is no coincidence. Wayne’s brother Brian was persuaded to leave his home state of Utah and join the company in the summer of 2005. Brian is a large part of our customer service advantage over the majority of our competitors who use contract services for installation! As a perfectionist with a mechanical mind and lots of handyman experience, Brian easily assumed the lead installer role. Besides his install competence, our customers also appreciate his respectful, friendly nature and his clean work habits.
Brian’s most recent job experience before joining Harmony was running handyman crews for a Salt Lake City non-profit. Helping the disadvantaged with working sinks and functioning coolers had its unique rewards, but Brian is enjoying San Diego. He’s finding new rewards in the window covering business and in helping transform our customers’ homes.
Brian is Hunter Douglas trained and a Hunter Douglas Certified Installer.
Eldann Chandler – Consultant
Eldann began working for Harmony in the fall of ’06 as part-time sales support. As the company grew, he decided it would be more interesting to take-on a consultant role. We predicted it would be a natural fit for his outgoing personality, his independence and his customer service experience. There’s no turning back now! He really enjoys helping create beauty and comfort in our customer’s homes.
Eldann is a Californian from Los Angeles. Between LA and San Diego he spent four years in New Orleans getting his BA in Anthropology and a couple of years working in Miami.
Laureen Davis - Independent Consultant
Laureen is new to the Harmony team as of March 2012 but she’s no stranger to the business of home décor! Her experience in home furnishings, including window coverings, exceeds three decades and includes a span as proprietor of her own interior design company.
Ms Davis’ primary focus will be providing home consultations for Harmony’s North County customers from her base in Oceanside. Laureen will also be available for consultations throughout the county where her special expertise in custom draperies, cornices, toppers, etc. are needed.
Laureen is a Southern California native and the mother of two married daughters and a college-age son. When she’s not getting her rewards from making your interior more beautiful, Laureen enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband who recently retired from the Marines. Favorite activities include hiking, golf, biking and kayaking. Ask her about her “mud run” medal!
Support Staff:
Kate LeBlanc
Kate manages a host of office tasks, including receiving products, entering bills, answering phones, and most importantly scheduling your installations! When this Arizona transplant isn’t working or taking care of her 2-year old, she likes to track the local music scene.
Ciro Melendez
Ciro is our assistant installer, helping on large jobs and when an extra ladder or set of hands is required. And there’s no more efficient or hard working assistant! Between his two jobs, Ciro can be seen churning down the streets of North Park as a serious distance runner!
Fibi, Earl and Lester – Warehouse Staff
We had to put the rest of the family to work too! Since they can’t type and they’re not always polite on the phone it was off to the warehouse. They also double as company therapists!
What's In A Name?
HARMONY can be defined as the principle of unity and variety in design, which contributes to the cohesiveness of the interior design plan or theme. For me, starting a window covering business named “Harmony” also signified a new commitment to harmony and balance in my own life. I’ve grouped my talents, interests and energy into a business I truly enjoy: helping you personalize your home with the right window coverings at the right price!
We care!
