Brett Copper, Copper Storage Management - Application Brett currently serves TNSSA as a member of the Events Committee. " Previously have been a part of the board. As not only a vendor, but an Owner of facilities in Tennessee, I think I have a good perspective from both sides of the business. I enjoy being involved in my home state!"
Lee Creech, Northshore Pellissippi - Application Lee currently serves TNSSA as the Treasurer and as a member of the Events Committee. " I have been attending TNSSA events since I first entered the self-storage industry. I have always been impressed that TNSSA identifies and pursues timely education, best practices, and sometimes legislative remedies to issues affecting our industry. I have had the pleasure of serving on the TNSSA Board, as Secretary, as President, and currently as Treasurer. If re-elected, I hope to continue serving as our industry and association matures, and to do my part in fostering a spirit of professionalism, openness, and service to a Board that I know values these qualities." |
Anne Blackwell, Equicap - Application Anne currently serves TNSSA as the Charity Committee Chair. "I am deeply passionate about continuing my involvement with TNSSA, where I have had the honor of serving as a board member for many years. I am inspired by the Association's commitment to championing the rights of self-storage owners and operators while fostering education for both owners and managers. I find great satisfaction in being part of a community that continually strives to elevate the standards of our profession. As Winston Churchill once said, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." My desire to continue serving on the board is rooted in this philosophy of giving back to an industry I love so much."
Matt is a new applicant to our TNSSA Board. " I have been a SS owner since 2020. We are a family organization and currently own 6 facilities. We own 3 in TN, 2 in AR and 1 in FL. This is my first year as a TNSSA member and I have found it to be very beneficial. I have attended one luncheon as well as the fall conference (already have my ticket to the Chatt. lunch later this year). As far as why I want to be on the board - I think I can bring a good representation to the board for people who decide to get into storage and "boot-strap" their way to success. One area that I feel confident in and believe I can contribute to the members is how to buy / operate "small" facilities (off-market) to gain experience and confidence in SS ownership and operation. I would consider this a great opportunity for me to give back to the SS community in Tennessee as well as expanding my knowledge from those with more experience than me. I have found value and insight from the current board members and feel I can continue their fine work."
Stephen is a new applicant to our TNSSA Board. "I began my entrepreneurial journey 30 years ago by building a specialized machine shop, which I successfully sold two years ago. Today, I own an independent insurance agency and manage a portfolio of 37 single-family homes. In 2017, I ventured into the storage industry, and my facility in Camden, TN, has grown from 150 units to 331 units, reflecting my commitment to expansion and innovation." |
