Cynthia explained, “Our market place is anybody that has employees or delivers products to human beings. Any company ranging from small, to large, to government as well as startups has a use for our services. When we’re talking about smaller companies, they begin to experience problems with change and growth, at these points in time it is always good to bring in our services to help look at the organization to best position it for the company’s new vision and new posture. When you’re looking at startup type companies, these companies can benefit by bringing in a consultant because they are unable to employ a full time staff that specializes in human centered strategy and design. These skills are critical to startups because they will help maximize the products acceptance potential within the market place, this is key because startups are introducing a completely new and often times disruptive technology. You only have one chance to make a first impression. You may have the most innovative products known to man, but it doesn’t matter if people can’t use them or the product does not address a current need within the market place including current customer demographics.”

Medical evaluations at the NFL Scouting Combine are not televised because they aren’t glamorous or entertaining. But for some, they can make or break your initial start in the NFL. For Jeron, at age 21 with his dream of playing in the NFL right in front of him, he was blindsided with the news that he had early onset arthritis and degenerative, bone on bone conditions in both knees. His friends retired from the NFL now ask, “Why am I in more pain now than I did when I was playing?” So Mr. Mastrud founded PNT, which helps athletes gain back the active lifestyle they lost due to injury, so they can train effectively, play with their kids, and stay in good shape for a lifetime.

“Before, I was strong. I was in good shape. Once I retired, I wanted to have a functional, active life free of pain. I’ve seen many guys after they were done playing, barely in their 40s and 50s, having significant loss of mobility or just taking pain meds daily. I like to snowboard, wake surf and play pickup basketball, and would like to do that later in life. Personally, this is why I started Pacific Neuro Therapy,” says founder Jeron Mastrud, former Dolphins and Raiders Tight End.

PNT appeals to players and past players because they trust Jeron as someone who understands their situation, their world, and the problems they have experienced or are living with. He completely understands how players have multiple pain issues and injuries, often from head to toe. “It’s rare to come across someone in the NFL who hasn’t had a surgery, or at least an injury of some sort,” states Mastrud.

Players and former players who experience joint degeneration, arthritis, and other widespread issues often feel that their only option is joint replacement or living with their condition. Athletes do what they can to mask the pain while playing— cortisone injections, pain pills (ex. Percocet), or getting a surgery. Ultimately, these measures don’t address the root cause of the pain. This gap between problem and long-term solution presented a unique opportunity for Jeron to meet the needs of his fellow players.

“We have worked with both current and former players. These guys wanted a solution and not just a Band-Aid. They wanted to be pain-free and enjoy their lives or be on the field doing what they love, not stuck in a training room,” continues Mastrud.

Instead of simply masking the pain or temporarily decreasing inflammation, Jeron’s company, Pacific Neuro Therapy, offers a solution in finding the root cause of the pain, addressing it, and helping players become pain-free with the innovative treatment offered.

About Pacific Neuro Therapy

Former NFL player and founder of Pacific Neuro Therapy Jeron Mastrud believes no one deserves to live in pain. It was during his time in professional football—playing tight end for the Dolphins and Raiders from 2010-2014—that Jeron first encountered the revolutionary treatment used at PNT while addressing his own injuries, and he experienced great success. Pacific Neuro Therapy offers a revolutionary solution to chronic pain and rehabilitation. Their professional staff provides focused attention and one-on-one experiences, understanding that every injury or chronic condition is unique to the patient. They work diligently to discover the source of the pain right away and create an informed plan for moving forward.

Andy Curry, President of Seven Falls Publishing confirmed they have officially launched a nationwide search for divorce lawyers, relationship counselors, trainers, nutritionists, asset protection experts, life coaches, business coaches, Naturopaths, and dating coaches to be featured in the upcoming book, Now What? I’m Getting Divorced”.

Explaining the search process, Curry said, “This is an important book for us, so we’ll be reaching out to a select group of professionals we feel are true educators and advocates for the success of their clients and patients in the U.S., while at the same time committing to spread the word about a great organization like Interfaith Hospitality Network.

Seven Falls Publishing has pledged 100% of the royalties from the retail sales of the book’s first six months to be donated to Interfaith Hospitality Network.

Scheduled for a summer release, “Now What? I’m Getting Divorced” will spotlight each of the professionals selected from this search, sharing their insights and real world experience on relationships, protecting one’s self, and starting over with a bang.

Curry said, “This book isn’t just about divorce.   The professionals we select are passionate about helping divorcing folks starting over. They will answer the most common questions and bust the myths and misconceptions so many people have about relationships, protecting themselves, starting over, and more.  ‘Now What? I’m Getting Divorced’ will cover divorce issues, protecting your health in the cesspool of negativity, getting healthy, getting back your confidence, looking your best, a lot information that is rarely talked about.”

Curry went on to describe the book as, “… a powerful resource for the divorcing man or woman who want to put the joy and confidence back in their life even if they feel there’s no hope, have no money, or feel like life isn’t worth living anymore.”

With several industry leaders expressing interest in participating, Seven Falls Publishing is expected to make an announcement revealing the final selections by mid to late summer of 2016.

However, Curry asserted, “One of the reasons we launched this search is because we didn’t want to go the route of filling this book with the stereotypical ‘Experts.’  This search would be unnecessary if that was the case.

“We anticipate a lot of exposure around this project, for both Interfaith Hospitality Network and the people we select to feature in the book, so we really want to showcase those professionals who are actually in the trenches, working hard every day and willing to share that experience to benefit a great cause and the success of the person on their way to divorce.  That’s what will make this a win, win, win project.”

Granger, IA – June 10, 2016 – LeafGuard Exteriors of Granger, Iowa, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF has to offer: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes LeafGuard Exteriors as one of the “elite of the elite” residential roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Elite(R) Contractors can compete for its residential President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a residential roofing contractor must demonstrate an exceptional level of excellence in their business, especially in the areas of Installation Excellence, Consumer Protection, and Installer Training.

LeafGuard Exteriors has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 2011. To become a Master Elite(R) Contractor–a status that less than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide have achieved–a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing and adequate insurance, have a proven reputation and show commitment to ongoing professional training.

Don’t let the name mislead you; LeafGuard is a full-service exterior company. “A lot of people associate us only with leaf guards,” says Richard Anderson, general manager. “They’re not aware that we do roofing, siding, and insulation. Our name is associated with all of these products and services–we do much more than just gutters. So we’re excited about the recognition from the GAF award.”

“We’ve been servicing Iowa area since 2004, and we have about 30 years of contracting experience in the Midwest,” explains Brent Butler, marketing manager. “We stand behind the quality–of our materials, our labor, our warranties–and that sets us apart. We have one of the highest referral rates in the industry. I could hand to a prospective customer a list of 500 past customers and say, ‘These are your neighbors. Call and ask them what they think of us.’”

Anderson expands on the company’s customer service. “Our scheduling department prepares the customer ahead of time with a packet of information of what to expect from the job. At every step, the customer knows exactly what’s going to happen and when. There are no surprises when we show up to the job site.”

LeafGuard’s commitment to service extends to the local community. “We feel more connected to the community than a lot of other companies. Recently, we donated goods and services in support of parents of schoolchildren in the Des Moines area,” says Butler. “We’ve worked with Habitat for Humanity and Ducks Unlimited and make annual contributions to the Iowa Wild hockey team’s ‘Defending the Blue Line’ program, which provides sports equipment and opportunities for underprivileged children. We love our community and love to give back.”

Expansion is the name of the game, according to Anderson. “In 2015, we rolled out a new office in eastern Iowa, helping us deliver the region’s best service and workmanship. Our newly built, state-of-the-art conferencing and telecommunication center greatly facilitated communication with national franchisees and other local offices.”

That communication is a key part of LeafGuard’s success. “Although we have four different offices, we have a family atmosphere–everyone gets along well, and we act as a team,” concludes Anderson. “That’s a ‘human side’ that we want everyone to see. As we move forward, you’re going to see a lot more of that from LeafGuard; your neighbors who provide excellent customer service, quality workmanship and a products that will last a lifetime.

About LeafGuard Exteriors

Since 2003, LeafGuard has expanded into a multistate construction and home-improvement enterprise, with close to 50 employees and more than 15,000 happy customers. It’s easy to please customers with LeafGuard’s great products and its staff of hard-working professionals. Nearly 30% of new customers come from referrals. Already established in the gutter installation business, the company has expanded to roofing, siding, and insulation.

To qualify for this award, a residential roofing contractor must demonstrate an exceptional level of excellence in their business, especially in the areas of Installation Excellence, Consumer Protection, and Installer Training.

La-Rich has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 2007. To become a Master Elite(R) Contractor–a status that less than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide have achieved–a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing and adequate insurance, have a proven reputation and show commitment to ongoing professional training.

A prospective roofing customer should have full trust and confidence in his or her selected contractor. In central Connecticut, the contractor to trust is La-Rich. “Your roof protects your house, so you should expect perfection,” according to manager Scott Deprey. “When it comes to your home, you cannot afford to take a chance. You’re going to be spending several thousand dollars on the project, so you choose a contractor who is proven and capable. We’ve done more than 5,000 roofs over the last 27 years, delivering high quality at fair and reasonable pricing. It’s the best of both worlds.”

A superior installation or repair begins with quality products. “We use GAF roofing products,” explains Deprey. “Why? Quite simply, they are the best.” He continues: “A quality roof requires a lot of effort and attention to detail. We use synthetic underlayment, beneath the shingle roofing–it has exceptional dimensional stability, better than felt. We install an ice and water shield, which forms a waterproof barrier where ice most often builds up. Chimneys are common locations for leaks to form, so we ensure that the chimneys are correctly flashed with lead, using the techniques endorsed by the National Roofing Contractors Association and our suppliers. We also flash around vents and drain stacks. Finally, we use an eight-inch drip edge to prevent water from running under the edges of the shingles.”

More than just a roofer, La-Rich also installs and services siding, decks, and replacement windows. “We use only the best in vinyl siding,” says Deprey, “as well as quality window and door products to provide beautiful accents and to lower energy bills. We’re equally proud of our reputation for high-quality deck construction and design.” The company is also well experienced in insurance restoration work and commercial contracting needs, with a large crew that specializes in roof repairs and upgrades for apartments and condominiums. La-Rich holds an A accreditation with the Better Business Bureau.

Because remodeling is a major undertaking, La-Rich works closely with customers to help them meet their dreams. “Whether customers are considering additions, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, or other home improvements, we’ll comfortably guide them through the process,” concludes Deprey. “Our experience and expertise provide the customer with a stress-free job. We offer a great job at a reasonable price–expect it!”

TopIndustryProfessionals.com is a national website that receives nominees who are top performers in their field of expertise. For May 2016, T.I.P. was pleased to honor Art Koster with this prestigious award for attaining remarkable marketing results for his clients utilizing SEO and cutting edge digital media branding.  

Local and national businesses that have been built on traditional brick and mortar marketing have increasingly found that those practices no longer work in today’s market. The consumer landscape has changed dramatically in recent years. Consumers now turn first to the web to research a product or company before making a choice. According to Adweek.com, “85% of consumers find local businesses online.” With the decline in traditional printed business directory distribution and the rise of Google searches, local businesses are looking to online channels for their marketing budgets.

Art Koster is the owner of such an agency that local businesses have been turning to for increasing their online presence, reputation and sales. Koster’s results-driven online marketing strategies for blending authority positioning with SEO have been successfully executed with local organizations as well as national brands, resulting in hundreds of raving client testimonials.

When asked by T.I.P. what has been a key differentiator to his success with clients, Koster responded, “Clients continue to focus on what they do best while we masterfully market their business across multiple digital platforms and the media. We are not your average SEO agency. In fact, it would be a disservice to our clients if all we offered was the generic cookie cutter SEO services that most agencies typically offer. Instead, we do with the media for our clients what was once reserved only for the wealthy or organizations with massive marketing budgets. We flood search engines to position our clients as their industry’s leader in a very professional and authentic way that provides value to both the client, their customers, and their prospects. This is what drives our client’s marketing successes.

Koster says he is humbled by this award, while acknowledging he has been blessed to have helped thousands of clients achieve their financial goals. He attributes his own success to listening to clients, understanding their goals and desired outcomes, and together crafting a go to market strategy which has turned clients into raving fans. On understanding the entrepreneur business owners mindset during a consultation, Koster states “They don’t care about SEO or web design when it comes down to it. What they want is sales growth and to enjoy recognition as one of the best in their industry. We give them increased traffic, leads, and industry notoriety through unique, high-level execution using multiple digital platforms.”

This is attested by a recent client testimonial for Art that reads, “Thank you Art! We are now the top ranking site for multiple keywords! Our website traffic is up over 500%, and our sales are going through the roof. We had been burnt in the past by SEO companies and were reluctant to try again. We are so glad we found you.
