Jon Wagar’s sales career began at the age of 12 when he responded to a comic book ad to sell Christmas cards door to door. After high school and a stint in the military, Wagar attended home town state college, earning degrees in Biology, Chemistry and Environmental Science, then relapsed into a sales position with an upstart wholesale cedar company begun by a college friend.Wagar has spent most of the intervening forty years selling a variety of engineered and specialty lumber products at the wholesale level, buying, re-habbing and flipping distressed properties in his home town, rescuing and re-homing architectural salvage, and serving in elected office and on the boards of local charitable organizations.In 2014, Wagar and wife Zona built a new lake home using a combination of an ICFs and SIPS. Impressed with the ease of construction and the promise of negligible energy bills, Wagar accepted a position with the SIP provider and served eight years as a factory rep with them. Retiring in the fall of 2021, Wagar then became an independent dealer for his former employer, then added a second product line early in 2022.The Wagars live in their dream home on a very private 100-acre lake very close to the middle of nowhere, and choose to spend their snow-removal money on a winter rental near Phoenix, Arizona.
