Meet Our Team
Randy Westlund — Founder & CEO
Randy grew up helping out around an awning shop. In 2013, he
began designing specialized software to solve productivity
problems he experienced in the industry. This software evolved
into what Awning Tracker is today. Randy is an expert in
computer systems, system administration, web applications, and
data management. He earned his B.S. in Computer Engineering
from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2011.
Before founding Awning Tracker, he performed satellite
communication work for NASA, created animal biometrics software
at MIT, and worked on code and electronics for semi-autonomous
remote control aircraft that map clouds.
Gary Westlund — Consultant
Gary Westlund ran an awning company for over 25 years, growing
it from a small 7-person, 5000-sqft rented shop to nearly 40
employees occupying a 25,000-sqft building he owned. During
that time, he led the company through turbulent economic times
(including a crippling recession), developed new markets, and
found innovative ways to grow the company—including
increasing the annual revenue from $400k annual revenue to
nearly $6 million! He sold his company in 2018 and retired a
self-made multi-millionnaire. Now, he enjoys offering his
accumulated expertise and coaching to other owners and managers
in the industry.
Andy Adams — Sales & Marketing
Andy has been a software developer for over 10 years doing
web development work for clients across the US. Though he loves
programming, he tries to find the best solution for customers,
whether it involves code or not. Andy handles sales for Awning
Tracker—if you're interested in Awning Tracker, he's
eager to meet you!
