History

Established in 1999.

The story of the Blind, Shade & Shutter Company is a fun one. My wife is a twin and her twin sister is married to a guy who at the time had been in the blind and shutter business in Carmel, Indiana for 15 years. I had a business designing trade show exhibits that required a lot of flying from trade show to trade show and my wife flew every week as a consultant for Accenture. We had been married for a year and as newly weds being apart was no fun. My brother in law said I should look at his business and I did. He was home by seven every night and that was that. I sold my exhibit business and started The Blind, Shade & Shutter Co. Fifteen years, a house, and three kids later, I know it was the best decision I ever made. I have dinner with my wife and kids most nights and am always home in time to tuck them in.

Meet the Business Owner

Brian M.

Business Owner

I am a typical small business owner in all ways. Bitten by the entrepreneur bug as a kid I mowed lawns and shoveled snow and did odd jobs until I was old enough to get a job at Sniders Grocery in my home town of Silver Spring MD were I worked while in school. At 17 I got into the construction industry and worked there and at the grocery until I was 20. At 20 I got into manufacturing trade show exhibit components for a firm in Laurel MD. After three years learning about trade shows as an employee I decided to start my own firm. The primary reason I did this was to impress my girlfriend who is now my wife so it worked. The business grew and was great fun until we got married and started thinking about a family. Traveling around the world and meeting with all types of executives was an awesome experience but after 5 years and getting married I wanted a change that would allow me stay close to home. The Blind, Shade & Shutter Company provided that.
