Amazing Spaces Storage Centers Expands and Restructures for 2009 Despite a Down Economy

Amazing Spaces, a leading provider of upscale self storage solutions, began 2009 with several newly developed positions, including Director of Operations, despite the struggling economy.

On January 5, the company welcomed Mike Gately as its new Director of Operations. Mike will be in charge of overseeing all property management, preparing budgets, reviewing property expenses and performing numerous other duties. In his former position at Hendry Investments, Inc., located in San Antonio, Mike served as Vice President of Property Management. He joins Amazing Spaces with over 25 years of property management experience.

The company has also named Nathan Curtess as its new head of Franchise Sales and Development. Nathan has been with Amazing Spaces for five years and previously held the position of Property Manager. The company began offering Franchise Opportunities in late 2008 with a higher than predicted response and expects to close on several franchise agreements within the first six months of 2009.

In addition, Doug Gardow, who served as Amazing Spaces’ Area Manager for the past nine years, has been appointed the company’s new Director of IT Operations. Jennifer Byrne will take the position of Executive Office Administrator.

Scott Tautenhan, who co-founded Amazing Spaces with his wife Kathy, is excited about the direction the company is headed. “We are planning to expand by adding two properties in 2009, and Franchising companies typically grow exponentially both during and after a down economy,” he said. “So the future is looking bright for Amazing Spaces!”
