David’s Story
Prior to his involvement with Window Genie, David worked as a CPA and owned a recruiting firm for 12 years. The market crash of 2008 created the perfect storm for his company, and it went under. He and his family lost everything. By 2010, he had no choice but to explore other business opportunities.
David quickly decided he wanted to become a franchise owner so he could go into business for himself, but not by himself. After comparing several different franchises, David ultimately landed on Window Genie. In his own words, this opportunity “turned out to be the greatest blessing of my life.”
David’s wife and business partner, Jennifer, agrees. “The relationship that we have built with our fellow Window Genie owners has been incredible,” she says. “Window Genie is not just our business—it’s our family. It’s been an amazing addition to our life to have these other owners become part of our family.”
From the time he opened his franchise location in Alpharetta, Georgia, David watched his business grow organically, largely through referrals from other Neighborly brands in the area, including Five Star Painting and Glass Doctor. The value of the relationships across these franchises has been tremendous, he said. “The other owners are always there for us when we need them.”
After years of hard work, learning, and growing, David and Jennifer won the Franchisee of the Year Award in 2017. And now, David wants to help lead the franchise that gave him so much into the next decade of success. He’s hoping to continue to improve and grow the Window Genie system he loves and believes in so dearly.
David Flax is the Right Person for the Job
Window Genie Brand President, Richard “Rik” Nonelle, feels that David is supremely qualified to serve as VP of Operations because he built his franchise from scratch, starting at zero and becoming one of the largest window cleaning businesses in the Atlanta area only nine years later.
In addition, David has already built relationships with and earned the mutual respect of Neighborly franchise owners. This is what makes him the right cultural fit for the job.
While serving in the position of VP of Operations, David will build and support the Operations Team, oversee Strategic Planning, support the Brand President, and bolster the corporate culture. Window Genie searched for months before confirming that David Flax was the person best suited for this role.
