Meet Your Lake Havasu RV & Boat Storage Management Staff

Terri Heil
Business Development Manager

Terri Heil - Business Development Manager Terri has a diverse background in sales and business development and enjoys the challenges starting businesses from the ground up. She was part of the original sales and development team at BellSouth for the very popular “Blackberry” device. “I was one of the few Women in Technology in the early 80’s, Terri states, “and I loved every minute of it”.
 

When the opportunity presented itself to start a career in the Storage Industry Terri was up for the challenge. “We started off by joining associations like ISS and SSA where we started networking with industry professionals that were able to lead us in the right direction”. Terri’s background in software development enabled her to start working with the company’s software and hardware vendors on the back office systems in the very early stages of development.

Two of the more challenging areas that captured her attention were insurance and wading through all of the legal issues surrounding the storage industry after 9/11. “I was lucky I found an exceptional Attorney that is an industry expert and a top rate insurance broker both at the same convention”.

An opportunity in the storage industry was what Terri and Ed were looking for. In a very short time they have been able to create a “Country Club” atmosphere for their facility. Terri states “Once our customers receive our Concierge approach to customer service they will never dream of leaving us”.

Ed Heil
Manager of Operations & Security

Ed Heil - Manager of Operations & Security Ed retired from the Army in 1983 after 20 years of service. In keeping with his background in telecommunications and satellite communications he launched a career with GTE immediately after retirement. Through mergers and acquisitions GTE became Sprint and Ed found himself living and working in Dallas Texas. During his 13 year tenure with Sprint Ed held a variety of positions working for The University of Excellence, Sprint’s training organization. Ed had a 7 year hiatus in the middle of his Sprint career when he went to work for Nortel in Richardson Texas. At Nortel Ed managed a $500M product portfolio for the marketing organization where Sprint was one of their major distributors. After 13 years of service he retired from Sprint in April 2005. “I’ve never been very far away from Sprint, they were a vendor for the US Army, I worked for them for 13 years, at Nortel they were one of my largest distributors and I am still carrying one of their cell phones”.

About the time Ed was ready for his second retirement an opportunity came available for Ed and his wife Terri to project manage the construction and opening of Lake Havasu RV and Boat Storage. Ed and Terri with over 40 years combined sales and marketing experience decided it was time for a new challenge so they packed up their home in Dallas and set out for Lake Havasu City. “We have basically built the business from the ground up, when we arrived on site there were only a few standing walls, a chain link fence and a lot of Desert”. “Watching construction is nerve wracking, things never go as planned”.
Ed and Terri are no strangers to boating, they owned several boats and have enjoyed boating on Lake of the Ozarks and Lake Texoma. “We have not had the time to enjoy Lake Havasu as we would have liked because our business is keeping us very busy”. When Ed’s gets time away from work he enjoys shotgun sports especially Trap and Sporting Clays.

Ed has written a variety of articles for storage industry magazines, newspapers and the internet. He and his wife are active participants in the storage industry associations. Ed & Terri were featured speakers at an ISS convention Q&A session for RV & Boat Storage and have led round table discussions on Marketing RV and Boat Storage. “We feel RV & boat storage is a new and interesting market segment for the storage industry”.
