Office Staff

STEPHANIE

Office Manager

That familiar voice, the friendly smile – Stephanie has been with Crown Chimney since 2013.  Incredible business savvy, sharp attention-to-detail, and administrative mastery, Stephanie oversees all operations and functions of the office from IT, purchasing, scheduling, accounting, HR and records management. Stephanie’s exemplary customer service is at the heart of all she does by offering resources, kindness and courtesy to anyone and everyone who reaches out. Stephanie’s interests include music, her cats London and Paris, and traveling; her perfect day would find her on a beach enjoying the sun.

BILLY C

Service Dispatcher

After serving our country as an artillery specialist, we’ve enlisted Billy to take care of the scheduling of our high-ranking customers!  Billy’s vast dispatching skills was a targeted hit on Crown Chimney and we couldn’t be more fired up! Billy’s explosive approach to life is as contagious as his sense of humor.  When Billy is not expertly coordinating tactical operations for upcoming jobs, our resident “Dogface” enjoys spending time with his beloved K9s – Shadow, his German Shepherd and Tucker, his Blue Heeler.

DEB

Customer Success Manager

Deb has spent her career advocating for the needs of others (two-legged, four-legged, scaled, finned, and winged). Deb will be the first to say that the Crown Chimney culture “is built on friendship and trust” and she is thrilled to promote the customer service experience not only through scheduling but by connecting with customers through phone, in-person, print and digital interactions. In her spare time Deb will most likely be found around water in some form – by the ice at a hockey rink or in a boat on the lake.

Production/Warehouse Coordinator

John brings a background in operations and inventory management to our Crown Chimney team which is fabulous for the guy who runs our Warehouse! If John wasn’t racing around behind the scenes to ensure our crews are set at the starting line, he would be fulfilling his fantasy of speeding around a track in a “stock” car! While stocking shelves may not be an adrenaline rush, he’s already getting down the Crown Chimney “formula” and is pretty “Grand prix” in our minds!

Technicians

DAN

NH Gas Licensed/CSIA Certified Chimney Specialist
Team Lead

Known as Spider-Man to his team members in the office, Dan has been scaling rooftops since 2001 and is always first to grab the scaffolding and shift into high gear.  Dan is a CSIA Certified Chimney Specialist and trained carpenter who serves as the installation crew team lead. With an eye for design, Dan brings customer visions to life by creating original and beautiful stone hearth faces that enhance any style/décor.  Dan advises people to “keep up with chimney maintenance” to ensure a comfortable home throughout the four seasons.  A thrill-seeker by nature, Dan reaches new heights rock climbing but when on the ground you can be sure he will be “hoofing the ball” on a nearby soccer field.

SAXTON

NH Gas Licensed/CSIA Certified Chimney Specialist
Supervisor

Saxton has been serving Crown Chimney customers since 2017. The only thing bigger than his hulking physique is his larger-than-life commitment to promote the safety of our customers’ homes. Saxton’s passion for education is a continuous personal pursuit – when the subject is “chimney”, Saxton generously shares his knowledge to teach others about proper chimney venting, use of appliances and best practices. Saxton’s insight and creativity are the perfect mix to identify innovative hearth solutions through any challenge and scope of work.  If Saxton were not a technician/mason/chimney sweep ace, he would return to a life of horse training or sow new seeds through sustainable farming.

TOM

NH Gas Licensed/CSIA Certified Chimney Specialist
Team Lead

Tom found his way into the chimney sweep world through a friend and his interest was stoked.  While able to service oil, gas and solid-fuel appliances, Tom is known as our resident pellet stove expert. Tom leads the maintenance crew at Crown Chimney, so it is no surprise his advice is to “have your chimney cleaned and inspected annually.” Tom enjoys being out on the road meeting new people and has a fondness for historical homes. Off-hours Tom enjoys the great outdoors (fishing, kayaking, camping, four-wheeling) and making the best maple syrup around.

IVAN

CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep

They say things happen for reasons and we could not agree more. Call it fate. Call it happenstance. Either way, we could not be luckier to have Ivan as a member of our Crown Chimney team. Ivan enjoys the hands-on work of a chimney professional and gets satisfaction from those transformative projects that bring beauty and function to a home. They say chimney sweeps are good luck, so the odds are in Ivan’s favor for a rewarding career. When not at work Ivan enjoys firing up the grill for family meals.

NH Gas Licensed/CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep

Jon is a fan of action movies and while we’re an ensemble cast, he’s proving his heroic abilities (and mechanical inclination) to hit targets, outsmart challenges, tackle stunts and dominate the chimney business. We love the plot line of this epic adventure and can only ask ourselves one question … DO WE FEEL LUCKY? Yes we do! Jon’s “up, up and away” on a fast-paced, successful career adventure and we have no doubt that future sequels will sweep us off our feet!

LOUIE

NH Gas Licensed/CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep

Glowing referrals open doors and in walked Louie ready, willing, and able to be a chimney professional on the Crown Chimney team. Louie brings contracting experience and “enjoys the physical labor” of his role. We are excited to see Louie grow within the industry.  A science fiction enthusiast, Louie unwinds by taking adventures to faraway galaxies and underwater worlds with his head in a book.

NH Gas Licensed/CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep

Matty is learning the tools and tricks of the chimney trade but when he has time for himself you may find him getting his kicks (and snares and cymbals) behind his drum set. A multi-talented musician, Matty is quick to pick up new instruments and play the universal language of music. Matty has an appreciation for all genres including the subtle sounds of a lit fireplace and soothing melody of the byproducts of combustion properly venting from a chimney. We’re a captive audience looking forward to a symphony of chimney success in Matty’s future.
