August Trivia Question: How many children do David and Gina have combined?
|
This month, we are proud to highlight our company president, David Carson. When David says he was born into the office equipment industry, he literally means it. Herb Carson started Plus Inc in 1958, the year that David was born. Growing up as a little boy, David would spend many hours playing at the office, and as he got older, he would help with chores. To David, being at Plus was like growing up on a farm; since he was always around the business, it  became a part of him.
David has spent his entire life in the Upstate. He went to Wade Hampton High School and to Furman University. Because of this connection, his favorite part of the job is being a part of and helping in the Upstate community. This connection is also why David still spends 95% of his time working directly with our customers. David remarks, "Building relationships with customers and employees is one of the most satisfying things that a person can ever do."
Another great factor that David is proud of is that Plus Inc. has remained locally-owned. He explains, "To me, being locally-owned is such a great benefit. Being local allows our customers to always work with someone right here in our office for service issues, billing questions, and supply needs. Our customers always get to work with a Plus employee and all of our money stays here. When you do business with Plus Inc., we're putting all of our money back in the Upstate market."
David loves his family, and it's a huge family. David is quick to tell you, "I am married to the perfect person--Gina." David and his wife have seven children between them, and all the children either went to or are currently attending Blue Ridge High School. David and Gina both love spending time together and doing things with the kids and their extended families and friends. David and Gina are very active with Blue Ridge High School and Taylors First Baptist Church, and David is active with the North Greenville Rotary.
If you have any comments for David, please contact him at dc@plusinc.net or 864-242-9090.

The heat of the summer is upon us and with more folks using portable devices, like laptops, we have to keep those computers cool as well as ourselves. Here are a few tips on keeping that machine cooled down.
- Make sure that the vents on your PC are clear of debris, like dust or paper. This may cause your PC to overheat.
- Avoid putting your PC in front of a window where it will be subjected to direct sunlight all day. Avoid sitting with your laptop on your lap, preventing it from getting the circulation that it needs.
- Use caution when storing your laptop. Don't leave it in a parked car for too long. Your laptop can easily overheat in your car or in your trunk, damaging sensitive components.
Taking simple steps like these will help keep your PC/Laptop in great working order for the summer. |
