Introducing our

Nationwide Representatives

of 2022!

We have an excellent group of individuals who work hard all year selling our products.

Here's a little background and some fun facts about our

nationwide sales force and what makes them tick....

Apollo Architectural

After 19 years in the industry at SAFTI FIRST, Mike Vizcarra was ready to venture out on his own, and established Apollo in 2003.

His sons Matthew and Nathan joined the team in 2009 & 2010, respectively, to increase sales and coverage. Matthew came aboard 2 years after college and loves to spend his spare time coaching his son's soccer team. Nathan, a division 1 collegiate swimmer holding the Master's team record, sold high performance bikes during his studies. He then graduated and joined Apollo shortly after.

Apollo joined AGS in 2005 and began promoting heavily, doing an excellent job getting the word out to Northern CA and Reno where AGS was previously unknown.
