Faces of Ledtronics: Kyle Everson

By LEDtronics, Inc.

Kyle At Work

Kyle Everson, Distributor Sales Manager at LEDtronics, has worked in the electrical and lighting industry for over 20 years and is a second generation lighting specialist. He began working at LEDtronics in 2007 and now functions as a liaison to the distributors that the company sells their products through. He keeps these distributors current on product knowledge and application as well as allowing them to guide LEDtronics in product development.

Kyle travels the continental US three to four months a year to visit distributor companies, project sites and rep companies that support the distributors. He spends much of his time educating on products, applications and the merits of LED lighting. “We bring so much history to the game. It is important for our end users to understand that they are dealing with the pioneer of the industry and not someone who has just learned to spell LED,” says Kyle. In order to stand out among competitors, LEDtronics works to stay innovative and ahead of the game.

Kyle’s years of experience in the lighting industry have also brought him an appreciation for the team he is now a part of. He comments, “Pervaiz has done a wonderful job of creating a family atmosphere and seeing to it that it is sustained in an ongoing manner.” Kyle appreciates the company’s charitable nature and willingness to support one another’s causes. “There is very little friction between us all because we feel that we are in this together.”

Kyle’s Travels

As a result of Kyle’s position at LEDtronics, he has had the privilege of taking in some of the local sights and sounds of his business trip destinations. “Probably the most surprising natural site was Niagara Falls, it took my breath away,” said Kyle. He has also visited five different presidential libraries and raced a lap around Indianapolis Motor Speedway. But while his sightseeing has been enjoyable, his favorite thing about traveling with LEDtronics has been the hundreds of new people around the country he has had the pleasure of meeting.

When Kyle is not traveling he enjoys time with his four grand children and cooking for his family, especially his signature Yankee Pot Roast.
