Hank Miller opened 911 Restoration of Virginia Beach and started helping homeowners with their water damage problems after 30 years as a printer salesman. “It was a fresh start for me,” he discloses. “I was feeling stuck as a salesman. Everyday was monotonous. I wasn’t happy.”
It was a pleasant surprise to Hank himself how quickly he took to the restoration industry, and a more casual daily uniform: white t-shirt and jeans. “I get to help people out for living. What I wear doesn’t matter anymore,” he adds with a grin.
“It’s the people,” he adds. “My business now is to help out people in their time of need, and that’s way better than selling printers.”
The Millers have a Saturday tradition. Twice a month they help out the low-income Tidewater neighborhoods by providing fresh groceries to families living there.
“I realize why I was so miserable as a salesman,” exclaims Hank: “because selling didn’t speak to my nature, helping does!” By helping people restore their home from water damage disasters, Hank Miller is doing just that.
