Meet our Staff
Russ Bolinger, President
I was fortunate to grow up in Arizona. I learned the importance of integrity, loyalty and community. My family and I have deep roots in the State of Arizona going back several generations.
I began my career with a local homebuilder. While working as a Superintendent, I saw there was a need in the lighting industry for a company that was as committed to customer service as it was providing quality lighting products. Aztec Lighting was born in 1986 with this philosophy in mind. I believe the best advertising is the well taken care of and satisfied customer that tells someone else about their positive experience with Aztec Lighting.
Aztec Lighting, Inc. is family owned and operated. Thank you to all of our customers that have made us the company we are today.
Kristy Grogan, General Manager
I have been working at Aztec Lighting since the company started in 1986. As the company has grown I have had the opportunity to do a wide variety of jobs as the needs arose from warehouse to front office. Currently I do all the accounting and payroll as well as some office support. It has been a joy to watch the company grow into a major lighting supplier for the Arizona housing market &beyond!
