If this guy doesn’t know it, it’s probably not worth knowing. Give the man a ballpoint pen, some duct tape, and a turkey baster, and he can hot wire a car in ten seconds flat (or really scare a turkey). His superhuman Powers include making everyone feel as if their problem is the most important one he’s trying to solve. Diagnosing even the most challenging of issues, and most importantly, he can whip up some of the best waffles you’ve ever tasted. Even if it takes two hours, requires a lot of supervision, and results in two sinks full of dirty dishes! When he’s not fulfilling his superhero duties he’s usually about 9,000 feet above sea level with a snow board strapped to his feet, or 100’ below sea level chasing fish around in his SCUBA gear. When forced to keep his feet planted on dry ground, he’s probably flying across the dance floor. He’s a competitive ballroom dancer, and got the trophies to prove it!

Everyone knows Lara Figueroa, wife of owner Nelson and event coordinator, project manager, and all-around problem solver for Millennium Luxury Coaches. Born right here in Central Florida, Lara loves traveling all over the world, especially when she gets to spot animals she’d never otherwise see, like a moose in the West, whales off the coast of Oregon, or a Floridian in the snow. With a great sense of humor, and a laugh that everyone recognizes in the office, she’s always ready to listen, whether it’s to an employee with ideas, a customer with questions, or her two adopted stepchildren. She admits her biggest fear is getting lost, but you should see her amazing navigation skills when she and Nelson are on the road!

Daniel O’Leary is a Sales Coordinator here at Millennium Luxury Coaches. “Bulldog”, as he’s called by everyone who knows how competitive he is (or “Dad”, as he’s known to his four wonderful children), works tirelessly with his team to make sure that each one of Millennium’s potential customers knows all about the advanced technology and master craftsmanship that goes into every custom-built luxury coach! When he’s not at work or taking care of his two daughters and two sons, Bulldog can be found eating, drinking, living and breathing Notre Dame football while he dreams of someday getting the chance to meet Head Coach Brian Kelly. Until then, if you see Daniel on the factory floor, better give him a high five and say, “Go Fighting Irish!” if you know what’s good for you!

Millennium Luxury Coaches’ Sales Manager is Scott Puch. In his off time, you’ll find Scott riding around town on his motorcycle or cheering for Penn State football. Our customers find Scott to be friendly, approachable, and ready to help them achieve their dreams, and we love him for being motivated and loyal. He’s hardworking and driven to succeed but also knows that sometimes you need to enjoy life too. Next time you see Scott around the floor, ask him to show off his mean air guitar skills!

Millennium Luxury Coaches’s Amber Edwards is the receptionist that everyone has the pleasure of meeting or talking to when they visit or call our offices. Bubbly and fun, she’s a huge fan of traveling, photography, and her cats, and not necessarily in that order. In fact, if she was ever on TV, she’d be on Hoarders just because of her menagerie of cats! With a great sense of humor, and a love for her friends and family, Amber is a welcome face of the company for employees and customers alike.

If you’re looking for someone with an attention to detail, look no further than our Interior Designer Elizabeth “Michell” Kenton! Constantly striving to be the best person she can be, she’s meticulous, detail-oriented, and maybe just a little bit mischievous. When she’s not taking copious notes, you can find Michell painting or spending time with her pup, Bear. A dedicated employee and extremely hard worker, she knows that nobody’s perfect, but if someone’s going to be, it might as well be her!

Need a wingnut in Wyoming, no problem. A left handed widget in Las Vegas by eleven, it’s handled! A doodad from Delaware by noon, she’s on it! She’s the gal that makes sure whatever we need is on the shelf. She also has the amazing talent of recalling almost every part number in existence. “Do you mean the 279582DH29?” She’s the fastest Googler we know, and can find the last limited edition thingamajig in existence, and get it to us by noon, yesterday. In the right color, the right size, and jewel encrusted if we ask nicely. She’s also the proud owner of the “Messiest Desk at Millennium” award.

It probably stems from those 21 years in the military. Just had a run in with the pole at the end of the driveway? No problem! The guardrail jumped out and grabbed you? Piece of cake! As our paint shop and collision center manager, he can straighten out even the most mangled of metal, transform scuffed up paint to shiny perfection, and even have your trailer custom painted to match your coach while you wait. Dave is also in charge of safety around here so he makes sure we keep our fingers intact and don’t fall off of things. And if we do he makes us drop and give him twenty….while wearing our safety goggles and knee pads of course!

Inventory Control Manager Fletcher Christian comes to Millennium Luxury Coaches by way of Portland, Oregon. He’s a creative soul, spending time painting, taking photos and woodworking when he’s not going to various music festivals. Well, he volunteered to borrow a coach and travel the country visiting festival after festival, but we can’t live without his skills and direction when it comes to keeping production on target! With Jerry Garcia as his spirit guide and the mentality of a prankster, Fletch has an upbeat attitude about the world and a perspective we all could benefit from. “It’s not ‘No, because’ but ‘Yes, if’,” quotes Fletch, and if that doesn’t sum him up perfectly, what could?

And he’s polite…very polite. Like he says please and thank you a lot and opens doors for people. He was born in the small town of Medway, Massachusetts. We understand they’re very polite there too. When you don’t find Jim in the shop under a bus, you can find him heading to a car show, listening to classic rock, or playing a little volleyball. Jim’s also a bus guy, a polite bus guy. He knows just about anything worth knowing about buses and he can fix just about anything on buses. If you say please… and thank you.

And he’s in the process of covering it up. Other than being late to work, he says his biggest fear in life is getting caught. We’re not sure if he means by the law, or just his momma. He likes “Good sounding music” which tells us he’s not too picky…except when it comes to food. He’s never met a vegetable that he liked, and his idea of health food runs along the lines of oatmeal cookies. He loves to play racquetball, baseball, shoot hand guns, and work out at the gym. We discouraged the hand gun thing because he already looks guilty enough. No need to tempt fate. Willie loves hanging out with his wife Natalie and his dog Jake, which coincidentally enough is Willie’s nickname. Jake has the amazing ability to convert food to hair (Jake the dog, not Willie-Jake…stay with us people).You’re not the only ones confused here. When Natalie starts yelling at Jake, they both head to the doghouse. Despite his penchant for mischief, he has one hard and fast rule that he lives by…”Women are always right, I am always wrong, and the phrase “I’m fine” is the calm before the storm”. Willie is a very wise man.

We mean REALLY few words. As in most days we’re not sure if he’s programming some amazing new technology, or sleeping. Actually we’d be surprised if Corey does get any sleep, he’s in such high demand around here. Internets down? Call Corey! Need a printer hooked up? Call Corey! Shades Master doesn’t work? Call Corey! As the technical mastermind of our group he gets to work with things like processors, CPU’s, ECM’s, firmware, and 4G. We’re not sure what this one is but we hear it’s better than 3G. Actually we’re not sure what any of it is, but are really thankful we have Corey around to make it all work. Because apart from all this talent, he’s just a really great guy to hang out with; just don’t ask him to talk about it…

Telly has the best name of anyone at Milennium, we voted, He won. How could he have lost with a name like Telly Love. Folk’s, we’re not making that up! We just like to say it. Telly Love. Telly Love. Telly Love. You’re saying it now too, aren’t you?! As much as we like his name, we like him even more. He’s kind, and helpful, and he’s never blown anything up or caught anything on fire; which is really important since he’s in charge of our Electrical Department.

He even wears a bow tie to work on occasion. He’s one of those creative “artsy” types which is a good thing considering he’s also our lead painter. He’s not just a painter though. He also builds motorcycles, surfs and loves to Salsa. Seeing Brian on the dance floor is like visiting the Grand Canyon, everyone should do it once. The guy gives new meaning to the phrase “get’n jiggy with it.”

Purchasing Department phenom Amanda is the spontaneous type, originally visiting Florida from Vermont over the holidays, then deciding to stay here! She and her son argue over who’s more awesome, but with Will Ferrell as her favorite celebrity and a nickname like “Booger,” Amanda’s at least tied with him. She’ll enthusiastically tell you how much her dad means to her as well, and when you need a friend, you’ll find one in her. And if you need Q-tips, you’ll find those with her too – a weird amount of them!

…from Munich to Mexico and probably more than once!When he’s not trotting the globe you can often find him neck deep in a pile of boxes or tracking someone down over a misspelled part code. He can locate any part in the warehouse by memory and he always makes sure that new parts are welcomed and find a home. We assure you this is no easy feat, but when each nut and bolt has to be accounted for, John gets the job done! John is lucky enough to be married to his high school sweetheart and partner in crime Sheri. During his down time you’ll find him golfing, fishing or just relaxing with the family, when he’s not traveling the world that is.

For years Bob worked to restore antique aircrafts, and even got to help restore a Steerman 1929, an aircraft flown by Charles Lindbergh! Even now he still likes to build model aircrafts in his spare time, sounds difficult right? Well that’s the thing about Bob, he loves a challenge. You just can’t tell the man that he can’t do something…Well you could, but he’d probably get it done anyways.

Kind of like “The Fixer”. He’s one of the few men we know who’s sole purpose is to put things where they belong, exactly in their place. We’re not sure if this is a learned trait, as it is not inherent to the species. But Victor has mastered it. He can line a door up to within 1/16” of perfection. Install a locking mechanism that feels like perfection to the hand. Fit a counter top so perfectly it would make you cry. He is the master of his world, The Commander of perfection. He is, The Installer!

The first thing you think when you meet Mladenka is “I’m never going to remember her name.” The second thing you’ll think is that she’s the nicest person you’ve ever met, she never leaves her smile at home and is always willing to lend a helping hand. She also has this amazing ability to stretch yards and yards of fabric and make it lay perfectly straight with nary a wrinkle. You try it, it has reduced grown men to tears.

This talented upholsterer is a very well traveled man, born in Guyana, he moved to New York when he was 27, then finally Florida. To add to it, Ed loves pretty much any kind of music, he even listens to Opera when he gets home from work! Ed’s favorite part about doing upholstery work is the creative process; he takes great pride in all his work, and doesn’t give up until it’s perfect! We love that about Edmondo.

He also does the dirty work it takes to keep the facility running smoothly. When he’s not making sure everything is spic and span, Brett loves to spend time with his two kids, and two grandkids, and catch the latest sports game. His favorite NFL team is the Dolphins, but he loves watching the Florida Gators play just as much! Some of his favorite memories are tailgating before a game, and he says it almost is better than sitting on the bleachers!
