Member Feature: Glen, Alexander Air Conditioning
Can you tell us about the business you own?
Alexander Air Conditioning was started in 1993—next year will be our 30th year in business! We have 18 employees who work mainly on residential A/C, installing, repairing, and replacement.
What do you enjoy most about the work you do?
Every day and every job and customer brings a different challenge. It’s been enjoyable to watch the business grow from nothing to as big as it is now.
What brought you to My Space?
The office space we were renting previously flooded, so we needed a temporary place, but we ended up loving My Space so much we didn’t want to leave. My Space provides a great atmosphere for our employees who work in the office.
What is your go-to tip for being the most productive at My Space?
It’s just an enjoyable place to work. The outer walls are mostly windows, so you can see downtown. All of my employees like that they supply coffee and water, have a nice break room, and a nice training room/conference rooms. We’ve even had a party at My Space!
What are you really into right now (pizza, biking, rainy days, etc.)?
Right now, we’re waiting for it to get hot—we like it to be 90 degrees outside. As a business, we’re getting prepared for when it gets really busy.
What are you hoping to accomplish/try this year (work-related or not)?
I’m hoping to get more organized in the office—being at My Space should help with that. We’re also launching new software to get more organized so we can run the office more efficiently to help out everyone in the field.
Do you have a hidden talent?
I enjoy fishing, boating, hiking, and my weekends off. I also enjoy going to different places. In fact, we recently went to Savannah, Georgia, where my wife and daughter ran a half marathon.
What’s your favorite part about living in Panama City? Any favorite local businesses?
The best part about Panama City is the bays and the fishing—I’ve always lived in PC. We also have the best seafood in the world.
As far as a favorite local business, I’d like to give a shoutout to Payroll Services, who takes care of our payroll.
If there’s one other thing you’d like to share about My Space, what would it be?
Michelle’s a wonderful person—if people can’t get along with her, there’s something wrong with them. Basically, everyone’s like family at My Space. My granddaughter would even rather come to the office to hang out when she’s off than come to the house. She’s 10 and sits in the corner and reads a book and everyone stops by to say hello to her.
