In March 2013, David Williamson and business partner, Kyle Beddome purchased PM&M Electrical Inc. and began operating as Titan Solar Power. Together, they handled all aspects of the company from sales to installations. They found success after they discovered a niche in the solar industry by eliminating solar sales from their operations and focusing on installations and the project management associated with it. As Titan evolved, Williamson and Beddome, were able to step back and take on the executive leadership roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Today, Titan has installed over 449,241,146 watts of solar and completed over 90,000 projects with 1,400 employees nationwide. Titan and its affiliate locations remain closely held corporations with Williamson and Beddome at the helm.Please give us a review on Apple Podcasts! Like & Subscribe!
