Meet The Team
Anastasia
Office Manager
Anastasia has been with Sterling Services since the beginning and she is ruler of the office. When you call in Anastasia is often the person you will speak with. She is the “Mistress of the Morning” for all of our early morning callers. The technicians can always depend on Anastasia to keep them on schedule. When she is not knee deep in invoices, she is proudly defending her Four Square Mayorship and has a passion for the overall company growth. When asked what she likes most about working for Sterling Services she replied “The nice view from my office”. Born in Colorado Springs, Colorado one of Anastasia’s favorite childhood memories was her trip to DisneyWorld. Anastasia loves to travel and hopes one day to go to the Bahamas. Some of her other hobbies are Cabin hunting up North and Cheering on her daughter at Dance Competitions. One thing you may not know about Anastasia is she almost joined the Air Force before she moved to Arizona. In Five years from now Anastasia sees herself retired and sitting on the front porch of her future cabin up North. That is if Joel will let her!

Anastasia is queen of the office. This all started when I became too busy with customers in the field and could no longer answer all of the calls and get work done at the at the same time. As the business grew, so did her involvement and today, the business could not exist without her. Whether she is investigating the disappearance of paper clips, coaxing a service tech into doing “just one more” service call, answering odd calls at all hours, or just trying to figure out where all my missing receipts are, she’s kind of like everybody’s mom.

Shelly’s key to success is to be determined, driven and kind. When asked what she likes most about working at Sterling Services, she lists the comfortable family atmosphere and everyone’s willingness to help each other out. As a side note, Shelly also adds that we smile and laugh a lot around here and nobody takes themselves too seriously.

Shelly fit in immediately since you have to have a sense of humor around here in order to survive and is a real keeper!

I had needed a Service Manager for some time. There is no debate there. My greatest roadblock was that I had some very high standards of the type of leadership I wanted, but when I found Jake, I knew it was time to finally move forward. Jake shares my values and understands that being a Service Manager is way more than technical training, but also elevating technicians and helping them understand their value to customers and to the world in general. Satisfying the needs of Customers, Technicians, and Company all at the same time takes a lot of time and skill and we now definitely have the right guy to do exactly that!

He does however list a bucket list item as going to Atlantis in the Bahamas. Don’s key to success is caring about employees and customer concerns.

Don came in quickly became a highly respected leader due to his professionalism and eagerness to see the plumbing team succeed. Don is one of those people who gets along with anyone and everyone and is just a pleasant person with a kind demeanor that wears off on others.

When asked about what he most likes about working at Sterling Services, Gabe says it’s the great customers we work for. An amusing workplace story is when Gabe had to go underneath a mobile home porch, only to have the gate swing shut and latch behind him. Fortunately he had his phone to call the office, who then phoned the customer and kindly asked if they could let our plumber out from under the house! Although it bit embarrassing at the time, we certainly laugh about it now.

Gabe came to us with high expectations due to his vast plumbing experience and great track record. He is extremely versatile in tackling a wide range of plumbing projects from a quick minor repair to large and complex projects. Better yet, customers love Gabe and his large number of positive reviews certainly reflect that. There are just “plumbers” and then there are true “plumbing professionals”. Gabe is definitely in the category of professional technician who we continue to be thrilled to have on our team.

The fun part is that he has something different in his hand on every truck. Wrenchie also has his own Facebook page and fan club.
Silly, I know, but we like to have fun.
