Brandon Mackay always planned to enter the Fire Academy. But as he waited for a firefighter position to open up at the academy, his then-girlfriend (now wife) clearly had something else in mind for her beau. She referred him to SnugZ USA, a promotional products supplier located in Salt Lake City.
At first, Mackay passed the time working hard on the shipping and receiving dock and made sure to stay out of trouble. The experience quickly turned into something more than a holding period. Mackay's inquisitive nature, creative thinking and tireless work ethic enabled him to climb the ranks—and the view from the top was nice.
