William Spero
Hometown: Burbank, CA
CEO & Owner
Will has had direct mail in his blood from a young age. His grandfather opened a small direct mail shop in 1949 and Will spent his summers of Junior High and High School working in production, and then in sales. As a high school senior he was dropped in the middle of downtown L.A. with a pile of brochures and asked to "Go sell".
He graduated college with a degree in computer science, but direct mail was still his first love. He started DirectMailQuotes.com in 1997 and met with the Postmaster general when it became a partner of the USPS. After working with Tonya on DirectMailQuotes.com and MailMogul, they decided to start Mailers Haven together.
Will enjoys working too many hours, spending time with his family, and playing video games.
What is your favorite thing to do?
Traveling with my family.
What is your biggest passion?
Watching sports: Go Lakers, Dodgers and Rams!
Life Lesson: Everything is a trade-off. If you spend time on one thing, you might not have time for something else. Or if you give exceptional service and have great quality control, you probably can't have the lowest price.
What is something interesting that people don't know about you?
I enjoy writing fantasy novels in my rare free time.
Five Favorites:
Favorite Movie and movie snack? The Matrix, Flash Gordon, The Natural - Junior Mints, hands down.
Favorite Dish/Meal/Cuisine? Pizza.
Favorite Pet? So many great dogs, Molly, Penny, Joey, Toby and now Finn.
Favorite Book? Belgariad Series, though I loved Sword of Shannara as well.
What do you like best about your job?
Talking to clients. There is no better feeling than coming up with a great solution that is a win for everyone, from the reseller to the end user.
