David Xudavid xu With an engineering and business background, David is the catalyst and creator of Prostar. He understands the importance of customer relationships and their satisfaction level. "That's why we exist!" This attitude permeates throughout Prostar and has manufactured a "customer first" way of doing business amongst all personnel.

David is happily married with two children. When he is not busy working or spending time with his family, he'd love to beat you in a game of badminton. Playing two or three times a week, plus exercising regularly is also an important part of his life. He enjoys mentally challenging games, good company, and watching dramas and documentaries.  Since the Olympics, he has found a new appreciation for hockey and curling.

The only way a business can thrive in the long run is by delivering the product or services from customer’s point of view. Contrary to most people’s belief, low price is not necessarily the most important deciding factor. It’s the combination of services, quality and value. That’s where we strive to excel.

Les Balogh

les baloghLes is a ticketed painter (with a Trade Qualification Ticket as well as a Red Seal Interprovincial Ticket). He has met one of the highest qualifications necessary in this profession. He has been in the painting industry for his entire 32-year career, with hands-on or management experience. He has extensive knowledge of most forms of painting fields, be it residential, commercial or industrial. He operated his own business for a number of years and enjoys sharing his knowledge with clients as well as with the foremen and painters on the job.

I am an avid golfer, and walker, I am also a lover of the arts, music sculpture and literature, my wife and I are members of the Recital Society and support young and upcoming talent in the arts. I have a good sense of humor and find humor in most things, I like to deal with customers in a light-hearted manner, but also know where my place is in the picture, that is to try and deal with any and or most problems without getting the property managers involved unless it is absolutely necessary. I like to say that the buck stops with me.

I like to be as accurate as possible in covering any variations that could offer insight to our clients. I am a stickler for getting the exact scope and then giving personal options and alterative products, etc. Painting is a difficult and ever-changing business; keeping up with all the new products and application methods can be a challenge, but one that I am up for. We definitely live in a climate that has its challenges, as far as what the best materials are to use on different surfaces and what the best method of application is best suited for each particular job. Therefore experience is a definite asset.

Bryce Cayer

bryce cayerMaking the transition from primarily residential to commercial and industrial projects, Bryce brings a consistent track record of customer satisfaction. "The main focus is to make my client look good in the eyes of his or her clients by setting good expectations and delivering on my promises."

Recently married in November of 2008, Bryce and his wife Penelope have a small dog named "Lola." To add balance to his work life, Bryce plays on two soccer teams: an indoor team at 8-rinks and an outdoor team at Livingston Park. In the summer, he and his wife play together on a beach volleyball team at Spanish Banks.

"The painting business is less about straight cut lines as it is about delivering a positive experience for the customer." Many people have heard about the golden rule. I prefer the platinum rule that says "treat others the way they would like to be treated because everyone is different."
