We had the good fortune of connecting with AMANDA ZINK and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi AMANDA, do you have a favorite quote or affirmation?
My favorite affirmation is “If not you then who, if not now then when”. I think insecurity is a natural part of anyone’s life. (Some may admit it more than others. Ha!). But, we all get insecure or have self-doubts. When I find myself in a place of self doubt, I go over this in my head and it gives me confidence.

Funny story about that, I was recently offered a board position for a large home service best practice group. I was set to be the only woman on the board and my insecurities were running high. Realizing that I was the only woman elected, it was important to me that I was not only making myself proud but also making all the women in the trades proud. I was second guessing even moving forward with the position. That night, I was running on the Peloton and the instructor said “If not you then who, if not now then when”. It hit me like. a ton of bricks and gave me the confidence I needed to move forward. Since that day, I’ve thought about that affirmation and used it often.

What should our readers know about your business?
Hands down, the team we have at Air Control Home Services is what I’m most proud of. I know I’m biased, but we truly do have the best people. They are what make the company so successful and such a special place to work. I’m still not sure how we got so lucky to have the team we have but I am forever grateful that each one of them have chosen Air Control Home Services as their place of employment.

My brother and I took over as owners of Air Control right before COVID hit. The company was started by our parents in 1990. We had come to work for them in 2004 and 2005, respectively. So it wasn’t like we were new to the company but we were new to ownership. It was January of 2019 that we took over and shortly after that COVID became a headliner. It was our first real challenge as owners. The thing I learned the most during the time, was to rely on your team. Communicate, work through problems, discuss it, when you work together you really can get through anything!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m a foodie at heart so we would for sure visit Place to Be, The Chair, Mudshark Public House, and College Street just to name a few. Also, you can’t come to Lake Havasu without spending a day out on the lake with a little wake surfing or wakeboarding. The Bunker Bar would also be a fun visit as well so that they could get a little taste of the desert. Hangar 24 has a super fun Bingo night on Wednesdays that can’t be missed!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband! He has been a huge support. Not only is he a huge family man and helps with kids and household things but he’s a great sounding board. He’s constantly challenging me to be a better person, will tell me when I’m being unreasonable, but also provides support and an ear when I need someone to listen.
