Golden Opportunities at Family Video

	Lisa Gower District Manager Favorite Movie: Top Gun I started with Family Video on December 19, 1993. To keep me busy while my husband was working, I worked part-time at night and on the weekends, in addition to my full time job at a bank. I was asked to become an assistant manager at one of our Bay City, MI stores and gladly accepted. I became a store manager very soon after that. I now had a job that I loved with Family Video and my husband decided that he too, wanted a job that he loved. He decided to go back to school to get his nursing degree. In January 1997 my husband called to let me know he needed to take another class and would need $1,000. At that point in our lives, we had no extra money and I was devastated knowing he may not graduate on time.... (read more)
	Veronica Duda Payroll/Human Resources Favorite Movies: A Few Good Men & Old School I started working for Family Video in 1995 as a part timer in Homewood IL., when we only had 50 stores. What a change it was from my full time job at the bank across the street! I realized quickly that I was going to have more fun, make more money and have better opportunities if I chose Family Video as a career. (read more)
	Roy Williams Regional Manager & Vice President Favorite Movies: Butch Cassidy the Sundance Kid (original), Cool Hand Luke I started working for our CEO, Charlie Hoogland when I was 16 years old. My first job was sweeping the floors and cleaning the bathrooms. In college, I worked summers and breaks. When I graduated, I went to work as a salesman on the road. I became manager of a branch warehouse and eventually became a Vice President at Midstates Appliance & Supply Co., the parent company of Family Video. (read more)
	Jason Yuhasz District Manager Favorite Movies: I graduated college in 1999 with a B.S. in Animal Science. Upon graduation I took a job as an Artificial Insemination Technician in Wisconsin. As odd as it sounds, I loved my job. I was breeding 50-75 cows per day, but I was working 7 days a week from 5:00am-6:00pm. My wife and I had moved to Collins, WI, where we brought the population up to 80. After a couple of years, we decided to get out of the country so my wife could go back to college. I called up the Family Video in Manitowoc, WI and immediately got an interview. A few weeks later I started as a Manager In Training. Upon completion of my training we moved to Lansing, MI where I became the manager of my first store. While running this store I bought my first house and was given the opportunity to manage the Battle Creek, MI store. (read more)
	Karl Hartley District Manager Favorite Movies: Butch Cassidy the Sundance Kid (original), Ghostbusters Four years ago I was attending college at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, MI. I was majoring in Music Industry Management and hoped to work for a major recording label while developing my own studio. I was bartending at a local bar and, like most college students, was always a little short on cash. One of my softball buddies was married to the local Family Video manager. He suggested I apply for a part-time position. I was hesitant to apply, I wasn't sure if I would have the time for another part time job. Three weeks later I dropped off my application and was hired to work three days a week. (read more)
	Kevin Pasch District Manager Favorite Movies: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation I started in April of 2001 as a part-timer at stores in Bay City and Midland Michigan. After graduating from Northwood University with a bachelor's degree in business administration, I left the company and took another career path. In the summer of 2005 I was recruited back by Lisa Gower and Aaron Buza to become an MIT for Family Video. I started back with the company in October 2005 as an MIT. I was promoted to manager of store 17 in Bay City in February of 2006. I was promoted to manager of store 166 in Saginaw, Michigan in April of 2006. I was promoted to a three-store district in Waterford, Michigan in September of 2006. I was again promoted to a four-store district in Toledo, Ohio in June of 2007. I guess my story is that I have worked in almost every position in this company. I like to think that I am a pretty good example of the REALISTIC fast track success that this company offers. I had even left the company only to come back to what I really love to do. I'm looking forward to my next move and promotion and am very excited to see how fast our company is growing and the opportunities that come with it. That's my story in a nutshell. (read more)
	Oliver Owen District Manager Favorite Movies: 101 Dalmatians Working my way from part-time cashier to a corporate employee, I spent six years with BEST BUY and left to move back to the Quad Cities in 2005. A friend of mine from Best Buy was now working at Family Video and she called me to tell me about part-time openings in the Moline store. I applied and was interviewed by the Regional Manager, Denise Miller. I began, shortly after, as a Manager In-Training at store 152. I became a manager at store 248 in Clinton, IA. I was there for 1 year and 8 months... closed two competitors and was promoted to District Manager just a few months later. Now I am working towards getting my 4th store... (read more)
	Jim Burda District Manager Favorite Movies: The Color Purple Jim Burda Enjoying Sporting Goods until I heard about Family Video. I researched the company, and was astounded to see this "best kept national secret' growth story of real estate development, movie and game entertainment, tanning and future fitness, all based on tradition of servicing the customer and developing and promoting people. After I spent a day with the regional manager in the North Chicago area, I came home and said to my wife, "I want to be him." Family Video allows the opportunity to be that person you strive to be.
