I have been an Entrepreneur my entire life - starting with selling candy along the side of the road when I was nine years old. I opened my first company in the year 2000 and my first retail storefront in 2004. In 2000, along with a friend of mine, we were the first people in the United States to import and distribute gas powered scooters from China. Throughout the years we have expanded our product lines, and now specialize in electric vehicles, electric bicycles, gas scooters, and racing go karts. The Bintelli Beyond, is one of the hottest-selling models of EVs in the country! Every year for the last 15+ years we have shown increased sales, even throughout the recent economic troubles. In early 2015, I sold my first company, Gainesville Lawnscaping. It was an amazing four-year ride where we grew our landscaping and lawn care company into one of the top service providers in our city.Through all of my companies, our dedication to top notch service yields us many new customers through friend and family referrals. We appreciate all of the loyalty we have received from our customer base and will never rest until the job is done correctly. The loyalty of our customers and dealers have aided in Bintelli being named to the INC5000 FIVE times. In the last seven years, we have increased our facility square footage from 12,500sqf to 290,000sqf along with increasing our staff size by 1680%. We are also proud of increasing our staff minimum wage by $9/hr during our time in Charleston while doubling the average yearly wage earned by our staff in the same time period.At Bintelli, we work hard, yet like to have fun together as well. It's a cool dynamic. Our leadership team focuses on assisting our employees with "leveling up" in life. There's nothing more we love than celebrating when one of our employees buys their first house, gets a new car, graduates from college, or adds a new addition to their family! Our manufacturing team works together to achieve their production goals and likewise, they celebrate together when they're met - especially when they get those profit-sharing checks at the end of the year! Our sales and support team are absolutely competitive but at the same time, 100% support one another in working towards achieving our individual and team goals. Simply put, we treat each other like family SHOULD treat each other!These last few years of explosive growth have been a lot of fun and I'm excited to keep this trend going for decades to come. Electric vehicles are the future and Bintelli is well-positioned to continue to dominate in our industry.
