WHITE COLLAR TO BLUE COLLAR

Following graduation from Appalachian State, I started my career in banking at Credit Suisse here in the RTP area. Following a few cubicles and offices later, I found myself yearning for the physical activity I had once had in sports all growing up. While still in Finance I had an opportunity to get involved as a manager part time at a local moving company. I immediately saw many pitfalls in the industry. Customer complaints about previous moving experiences were down-right shocking: theft of customer’s items, damage to property with no remorse, unprepared and inexperienced day laborers, illegitimate and illegal moving companies, to price gauging and all-round manipulation. Despite this, I fell in love with the industry and felt a sense of purpose in erasing every customer’s previous negative bias of the moving business. This led to the formation of Raleigh Moving Company, a locally owned and operated moving company here in your area.
