Creedmoor Sports Promotes Gina Williams

Thursday, March 23rd, 2017

Gina Williams

Creedmoor Sports is excited to announce the promotion of Gina Williams to the position of Customer Care and Operations Manager.

Gina reports directly to Greg Kantorovich, President/Owner of Creedmoor Sports. Gina will be responsible for directing all matters in providing Creedmoor customers with the best customer service possible, in addition to managing Operations.

“Gina’s 12 years of experience of working directly with Creedmoor’s customers provides her with a deep appreciation of the efforts required to provide superb service to Creedmoor’s customer base. Customers from all over the world have taken time to express how Gina treats them as if they were one of the Creedmoor family and how she truly enjoys helping them with their shooting needs,” explained Greg Kantorovich, President of Creedmoor Sports.

“As Creedmoor’s customer base continues to grow, we felt it was important to have one person coordinating all the activities associated with customer care,” said Greg. “We have watched a lot of companies in growth periods and the first thing they seem to lose touch with is their commitment and involvement with their customers. We couldn’t think of anyone better than Gina to act as our guardian to ensure we always keep the close connection we have with our customers. This isn’t about making sure the packages go out the fastest in the industry or some metric that people pride themselves on achieving for measuring customer care. It is simply about focusing on our customers, keeping the personal connection with them, treating them as an individual and not as customer number umpteen thousand. Our customers chose to spend their free time in the precision rifle arena and with us. Trust me; Gina will make sure we help them enjoy every moment.”

Brad Meyers 1941-2017

Thursday, March 23rd, 2017

Founder and CEO Emeritus of B.E. Meyers & Co. Inc.

Bradley Edward Meyers: 1941-2017
It is with great sadness that the family and employees of B.E. Meyers & Co. Inc. announce the recent death of our Founder, Chief Innovator, and friend, Bradley Edward Meyers. Brad passed from this earth on the evening of 21 March, 2017, after complications due to a recent illness, and he was surrounded by family in his final moments at home. We are stunned and heartbroken by his loss.

Passionate. Positive. Persistent.
Brad graduated from high school in Brookfield, Wisconsin in 1959, afterwards attending a semester of college before leaving to follow his entrepreneurial spirit and make his own way. Brad held a variety of jobs over the years, such as selling orange juice and encyclopedias door-to-door in the 1960’s, truck driver, grave digger, medical and scientific equipment salesman at Roemer-Karr, explosives technician at EXCOA, commercial diver at his company Controlled Dynamics, astronomer, night vision equipment manufacturer, and lastly as the individual that set B.E. Meyers & Co. Inc. on our current path of systems integration and advanced photonics. He was the consummate entrepreneur, and was unwavering in his positive outlook in life, passion for new ideas, and persistent pursuit of his goals.

Innovation and Imagination
Brad’s legacy is primarily known by many in the Special Operations community through his products such as the IZLID™, DIAL™, GLARE™, MK Ranger™, and GRI2P™ series of lasers, as well as the B.E. Meyers Flash Hider line. He cited that his special gift was in finding the right people to help him reapply existing technologies in new ways to help the Warfighter. He was terrifically proud of the tremendous team that helped bring his ideas to life, and his legacy will continue on as the company is propelled by his infectious enthusiasm for the new, the different, and the exciting.

Memorial
Brad is mourned by his wife of forty-four years, Nancy; sons: Clint and Matthew; daughter, Rebecca; grandchildren: Jack and Alena; son-in-law, John; and daughter-in-law, Nicolle. Brad was preceded in death by his father, Alfred Arthur Meyers and his mother, Mabel Heidtman of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

He also leaves behind his faithful friend and tireless canine companion, Shadow.

The family extends their sincere thanks to the first responders of Eastside Fire and Rescue (WA), King County Sheriff’s Office (WA), and Sammamish Police Department (WA) for their support during this difficult time.

In lieu of flowers, the Meyers family asks that donations be made in Brad’s honor to charities that align with his interests, specifically, the Special Operations Care Fund, the National Rifle Association ILA, and his home church, the Community Church of Joy in Sammamish, WA.

Memorial service information will be forthcoming to industry, family, and friends. For questions regarding memorial attendance, please contact Mary Hance at mary.hance@bemeyers.com.
