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.
