Starting Small

WFR is a collection of the best people this industry has to offer! Our goal is to develop unity within the industry and uplift each other with positive reinforcement, information, networking and education. We hold each other accountable for the purpose of not only raising our own individual standards but to raise the standards and practices of the entire window tinting industry.
Rick Tallman
Founder
I have been in the window film industry since 1999. I started tinting windows in Florida for friends and family at my home. Soon after … starting i decided to go out and do mobile tint work and to also go work for other shops when i could. I spent around 3-5 years learning and perfecting my craft. I have had several shops between Florida and Georgia since then and have met and learned from countless others in my field.
When social media started to take off I realized it to be a great platform and tool to do exactly what i had already been doing, Bringing positive like minded people together!
In February of 2015 we launched WFR on the social media platform Facebook. Since it’s inception, WFR has helped to bring thousands of our industry professionals together!
We regularly meet and spend time with each other at various events and trade shows as well as staying in touch on social media. We live, laugh, learn and love together!
We are excited and look forward to continuing bringing people together right here at Window Film Revolution.com!

My ethos for living
Family, laughter and learning. I started slinging film in 1996 in dealers.
I’m 42, from Sydney Australia. …
2005 I went at it as a contractor and started my own company in 2007. Put on employees and quickly learnt the art of tint and the need for genuine, quality installers in the industry.
Around 2012 I met Boyd hunter. We clicked straight away, we’d heard of each other but hadn’t crossed paths until then. My network of amazing people in the industry grew and my thirst for learning and open mind had just clicked into gear. Now come PPF, vinyl wrapping, printing, social media networking and travelling to the USA to work in Texas.
I want to travel America and share my knowledge as well as learn from the legends of the industry.
I love to entertain, laugh and learn. I’m a workaholic and have a thirst to always do my best.
Love to help where I can… open invitation to anyone reading this. If you need help please just ask.

Hi everyone! I’m Lauren, Customer Service Director with FlexiShield Paint Protection Film. I’ve been in the automotive industry for about 6 years now, and I’m having a …blast growing with the best PPF brand around!

Jordan Campbell
Fusion Tools
Our story started years ago when Nick, President of Fusion Tools, began tinting cars for friends and families. Much like many installers in the industry…he discovered he had a knack for the job. When Nick began tinting there were virtually no tools specifically for the job. With his background in pattern making he set out to design purpose made installations tools. Long story short he succeeded and has been creating tools ever since. Nick has introduced industry revolutions such as the beveled squeegee blade, the angled or cropped squeegee blade, the first purpose made squeegee blade handle for tint installations, mounting solutions, plotter loading systems, and more, all while running his own install shop in his hometown just outside of the St. Louis area.
Nick and Jordan met in 2013 and as their relationship grew so did the business. Nick and Jordan decided it was better to work together to help Fusion Tools become a household name in every installers shop. They even hired a crazy Belgian guy named Filip that takes care of Europe for them. Over the years they’ve attended many industry trade shows, met installers all over the world, been known to pop into shops unexpectedly with bags of goodies, and made some of the industry’s favorite products.
Now, with the help of WFR and the entire PPF, Tint, & Vinyl community Fusion Tools is growing and working hard to bring you more of the high quality products you’ve come to expect.

David Kratz
Huper Optik USA
My name is David Kratz. I have been in the window film industry since 2001, and purchased my shop in 2003. I spent the next 15 years building my business, and …my brand, in the Oklahoma City market. Now, Adams Window Tinting is the premier window film shop in the OKC metro area. While our focus is on architectural window film, we also do a fair amount of automotive tinting as well. During this time, I realized I had a passion and a gift for marketing, as well as networking within our industry. In 2017, I had built my business to the point that it could run itself with the help of my amazing staff. This allowed me to pursue a position outside of my shop and work to help other shop owners build their businesses as well. I am currently the marketing manager for Huper Optik USA, autobahn Window Films and Edge Film Technologies. While I have a passion for this industry, my most rewarding job is being a father.
Jeff Phillips
Gulf Coast Territory Manager | XPEL
My great passion is consulting small business owners to help grow their businesses. I started my automotive film industry career with XPEL as a PPF trainer… in 2005. I’m thankful to have worked with so many great installers/owners over the years, as it has allowed me to share what I have witnessed with others and tailored it to help find their pathway to success. After seeing the world as a trainer, I’ve been able to grow with my company from a couple of guys renting space in a detail shop to a multinational publicly traded automotive enthusiast brand.
When I’m not a work, I like to hunt, fish, golf, work on my ’74 Bronco, play guitar, manage rental property, and embarrass my kids as much as possible in my hometown of San Antonio.
I’m truly blessed to work in an industry I love for, and alongside, some of my best friends in the world.

Garrett Wilson
WFR Leader
I started tinting at the age of 15 for a glass company (Ringer Enterprises) that is still doing business today. By the time I was 19 I started my first company …( Custom Tinting of Newberry). It was a small market and about 10 miles off of the beating path but I learned about what it takes to generate and maximize leads and phones ups. At age 23 that I started work for the largest 3M and LLumar dealer in the south east (Mr Tint, Columbia, Sc). There is where I became proficient in commercial and residential applications where I was in charge of large projects such as 110 floor Bank of America building (strip and retint), 20,000 sq ft. Golds gym, 30+ Doctors care franchises, Several Verizon wireless stores, and more than 100 custom homes. At the age of 28 I ventured back out on my own placing ads on Craigslist for tint via mobile. I received a call from the GM of Kia of Greer SC with my first major contract where for over two years I tinted ever new vehicle on the lot. I was approached by another entrepreneur that had started a company named Tint Solutions and hired to open/run a store in the small town of Easley SC. It was a challenge but one that made me utilize the prior skills learned from the Custom tinting of Newberry days. I had an opportunity to buy that store a few years later and now we are opening a second location. It was at this time I joined WFR and started networking and meeting some of the best tinters and businessmen/women. Working by myself for the first year I was fortunate enough to more than double the previous years’ (from $120k to $250k). Year three we almost doubled it again with credit going to a precise/efficient process along with two other tinters and plotter. During this timeline I’ve become very aware of different marketing techniques and consider myself to be proficient in ad words/key words in google which imo is key to success in a search engine business world we now do day to day business in.
Dean Mitchell
XPEL
I started tinting windows in 1994 with my best friend Vincent Disalvia in Montreal Quebec Canada. We started a companyu called Auto Creations. …Had a beautiful shop for 2 years until he and I decided to part ways in order to salvage our friendship. In 1996 I went off on my own and started DMR Vitres Teintées. I was 100 % mobile servicing dealerships and glass shops. 11 years later in 2007 I sold DMR to a franchise group called Pelti Vitres Teintées who then became Protex Canada. I was now an employee for the first time in 13 years. In 2012 I bought one of the partners and became part owner of the Protex franchise. In 2016, having worked with XPEL window films for 2 years, the Vice President of XPEL asked if I’d be interested in testing out DAP tint patterns. Having a well oiled shop and a great partner who agreed to let me do something which I thought would help the industry, I accepted the job. After designing and fixing over 800 patterns in the past 3 years, XPEL asked if I’d like to advance train tinters wherever that may be. I gladly accepted and around the world I went. I am now part of the northeast sales team and continue to share my passion and shop experience with passionate industry people. My father told me back in 1995, “I hope one day you’ll get a real job” after owning shops, creating tint tools, traveling the world and now working for one of the best companies in the industry, he apologized to me last year, hugged me, cried in my arms and told me how proud he was of me. My response to him was letting him know that those words back in ‘95, stuck with me throughout all these years and helped me push hard everyday to be the best I can be and to make him and the rest of my family proud. I also told him that I thank God he is still alive to see that I’ve made it and that he’s still just as important to me today as he was when I was a kid. Amen to everything this industry has brought to me and everyone in the most wonderful industry on earth, window tinting.

Robby Kronberger

Hello everyone!! My name is Robby Kronberger. My birthday is August 16th 1978. I have been tinting for 18yrs now. Started in 2002 at the …oldest tint shop in Tarrant county, D&D window tint.

My first love is God, 2nd is my beautiful wife Brittany and 3rd are my girls Graci (9) and Averi (6). Yet nothing in this world i Love doing more than spending time with each one. I am a humble average guy who loves to help others in any way I can. WFR has allowed me to do that in a way I never imagined. Yet I feel in debt to how each member has helped me grow and learn also in a way I never imagined. In all the years now people tell me i am a pro at it. I strive to be the best me i can at it and make sure each customer ever has a smile before they leave. Yet in my mind I cant be because a pro knows it all in their field and being a tinter I can never and will never stop learning in this trade. I also LOVE the same if not more doing PPF and vinyl.

Erik Devash
Tint Wizdom
A serial entrepreneur since 16 years old, Erik found his true passion in window film at 27 when he was exposed to the business side of the… industry by a neighbor and best friend. With a laser focus on using technology for efficiency and growth, he went on to be part in one of the fastest growing tint companies, starting from $0 in 2014 and reaching over $3 mil in sales in 2018.Selling the company at that point enabled him to focus full time on sharing with the industry the systems and best practices that made his company successful through the Tint Wiz app and weekly Facebook livestreams called Tint Wizdom.
Jeff Welch
TintZilla
Kicking off his career in 1991 at the age of 16, Jeff had no idea he was venturing into what would be a life journey. Even at 16, his past had …already included some graphics layout and design
application in the dark-room and print shop arena, as well as some fabrication and machine
work, along with general mechanics along the way. “A window tinter? Maybe, maybe not” was
his thoughts. “I just saw a help wanted sign out at the shop I had just paid – literally days before
– for tint work, and stopped in. At the time, I just thought that would be a super cool job! Stereo
shop/detail shop/tint shop?? Man I would have swept floors just to work there, so I went in and
checked it out”.
Well, long story short, that’s where Jeff’s story in our industry began. He was hired on at his first
job as a window tinter at the Bass Station in Griffin Ga, in the spring of 1991. He trained under
the lead tinter there for a few weeks, but didn’t train long before he was doing his own style.
He was a natural. Fast forward to 1994 where he took a job in another shop in Riverdale Ga, at
Klassy Window Tint. There the demand was three times what he had experienced, so he had to
step up his game. This is where he made a change on his shop sprayers that would eventually be
engineered into a brand and industry solution with Tint Hozilla. “The sprayers back then tripped
me out. I had never used anything above a poly-spray2 in capacity or function. When I went to
work in a shop where everything was pump 3 gallon sprayers, I didn’t know how to act. That
was cool…. until I got tired of fixing broken sprayers!” Jeff set out to fix that problem, did so
successfully, and the original design is still in manufacture today, with over 1500 units in shops
worldwide. Jeff’s career hasn’t always been on the upswing – he has had his share of heartache
and failure – but through it all has become one of our industry’s most knowledgeable, yet humble
leaders. His career has brought him super diversity, installing films in anything from a fishing
boat, to rock crushers in a quarry, or excavating equipment, or even large flat glass jobs and high
security government vehicles requiring security films, and then working and all but mastering the
automotive field during the whole day-to-day process.
Having spent his life working on techniques, improving tools, and learning about new products,
Jeff intends to share his knowledge with our industry, in an effort to improve the quality and
integrity of the industry, as well as invest his time in the growth of the industry and in educating
industry peers. To date, Jeff still single-handedly installs film on 120+ vehicles per month, plus
occasional flat glass installation and some vehicle wrapping.
“One day, I will have to leave this industry. Between now and then, it is my mission to pass
forward every skill I’ve learned both in accomplishing our day to day goals of becoming the best
at what we do, and in life application through our industry. This is also my personal learning field.”
Whether it is running the business, or out there in the heat of the moment, installing in the
toughest of circumstances, Jeff Welch has stood the test of time, and has committed himself to
integrate with the forward movements of the Window Film Revolution Group, and is here to help
anyone in need.

Hi y’all! I’m Jeanne Kratz. David and I have been married 16 years and have 3 beautiful children that I homeschool. Together, David and I own …Adams Window Tinting in Oklahoma City. Since he was already in the industry when we met, I guess you could say I married into the window film business. We raised babies in our tint bays and spent many an overnight tinting cars (David more than me for sure). I have held several jobs both in and out of the window film industry over the last 16 years, trying to find where I “fit” best, and I LOVE being a film rep. I enjoy building relationships with my customers and am always happy to help in any way I can.

Industry & Hustle
Happily married, 3 kids and expecting another baby May 2020. Hardest working in the room… Let’s get it !!…God, Family, I have been in the Window Film Industry for 21 years and still learning.
The industry has been great to me, it has allowed me to meet my wife and some fantastic people world wide and travel. Some people from USA I consider my best friends it’s great.
Growing up my family had a tint shop, I wanted to be a tinter also. It’s funny sitting down now at the school interviews and my kids telling the principle they want to be a tinter ?
I have been super blessed to have been on various levels as a trainee, a tinter, a trainer, distribution and now a brand.
Before making every decision I am always conscious of what would be best for the industry. Sometimes putting the industry before myself has cost me money. Stick to your core values and keep pushing. Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.

Dave Dellinger
WFR Leader
My name is David Dellinger and I am a window tint technician for XPEL Inc. My professional career began the day I turned fifteen years old in 1996 but in reality, my window film education began at a much earlier age.
Actually, I believe it started over a disagreement with my father about a bike that was to be a birthday present. Before his passing, my dad had built a chain of automotive tint shops called Ar-Tech Auto Tint and Alarms in Houston, TX and owned a Solar-X of Texas as well. The disagreement was over the amount of money he felt was reasonable to spend on a bike for a first grader. He offered to give me an amount of money and I would have to work for the cost of the bike over that amount. We agreed that I could come to work with him on Saturdays and in the summer to earn $2.00 an hour to clean the shop. After the first day, I was hooked! Fast cars, sharp knives and loud music, what is not to like? It could not have been a day or two before the guys in the shop realized that the hands of a six year old would have plenty of room to clean and stick a bunch of tall skinny quarter glasses common in that era. It was not long after that, I sat down at the dinner table with the boss, determined to broker a better deal for myself! I got it too! I would be paid $2.00 per hour and an additional $2.00 per window I tinted.
Over the years, I have been very fortunate to see the industry evolve from several different viewpoints. I have managed several high-volume stores, owned a shop for a few years, managed an aftermarket department for a dealership, and now work for a manufacturer. I believe that the last few years of growth in our industry is directly related to the willingness to share our knowledge and experiences with one another.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife of fifteen years and our two sons. My oldest son loves to play sports! He is very good at soccer, basketball and Taekwondo. It will not be long before his little brother will be ready to follow in his footsteps. Watching them play and teaching them to succeed is my favorite pastime.

Lisa Anderson Aroca
WFR Leader
Hi Y’all! My Name is Lisa Anderson Aroca, I am 49 years young and the Owner/Operator of Sunray Tint in Keller, Texas. Butch and Sue McCollum started the shop in 1983 and I joined them to became an owner in 2015. I am PASSIONATE … about people and the growth and success of ALL people. I came across WFR and found it to be a valuable resource, both in learning and sharing!
Though I learned to tint, my strengths are in business, coaching, developing talent, extraordinary leadership and customer service. I am great at turning a non-profitable, underperforming business around and making it soar to success while doing what’s best for the customer. My background is 20 years working in high level leadership at one of the top 4 banks in the United States. So I understand financials, profit margins, and how to make a business profitable!!!
I learn things quickly, so tint came easy for me to learn and now I am also PASSIONATE about both flatglass and automotive film, Paint Protection and Ceramic Coatings. I had to also learn about vehicles…I am always learning about vehicles every day because vehicles become more and more complex every year! I love learning new things and sharing what I learn. WFR is a great for place that! I believe anyone can do anything they set their mind to, and I will help in any way—even with my competition. I feel if we all work together it betters our industry so I work with local shops near me and we refer each other business. I believe in partnerships and adding value to my partners. I run Sunray Tint strategically and we are high quality, amazing customer service and high volume.
We have amazing tinters and only allow positivity in the shop. If you walk in our shop you will always be greeted by a smile and a welcome. Your vehicle will be treated as if it is our own; people trust us with their vehicles. We believe in teamwork, a solid process that works!!
We are family owned and operated. I get the opportunity to work with my daughter—she runs the front, my son in law is in the bay, our tinters are 3 brothers plus others that we say we adopt because everyone is family! Our flatglass leader is Butch and Sue’s grandson, so we have deep family roots at our shop and it’s a fun place to work.
People are sometimes surprised to see two women running a tint shop, but we win them over in a second when they realize we know what we are doing and willing to help them make an informed decision on their film!!!
When I’m not at work, my passion is my family. I’m married with 2 adult children and 3 adult step children, one of which is serving in the Military, so I worry about him as all mothers do. We love going to concerts, traveling, doing anything adventurous from sky diving to scuba diving and everything in between. We love making memories!! I also enjoy flower arranging, just being at home watching some good TV and the sport of boxing. I train and spar and love it!! So I’m here to help anyone be successful in any way, all you have to do is let me know! Let’s take this industry to the NEXT LEVEL!

I had to also learn about vehicles…I am always learning about vehicles every day because vehicles become more and more complex every year! I love learning new things and sharing what I learn. WFR is a great for place that! I believe anyone can do anything they set their mind to, and I will help in any way—even with my competition. I feel if we all work together it betters our industry so I work with local shops near me and we refer each other business. I believe in partnerships and adding value to my partners. I run Sunray Tint strategically and we are high quality, amazing customer service and high volume.
We have amazing tinters and only allow positivity in the shop. If you walk in our shop you will always be greeted by a smile and a welcome. Your vehicle will be treated as if it is our own; people trust us with their vehicles. We believe in teamwork, a solid process that works!!
We are family owned and operated. I get the opportunity to work with my daughter—she runs the front, my son in law is in the bay, our tinters are 3 brothers plus others that we say we adopt because everyone is family! Our flatglass leader is Butch and Sue’s grandson, so we have deep family roots at our shop and it’s a fun place to work.
People are sometimes surprised to see two women running a tint shop, but we win them over in a second when they realize we know what we are doing and willing to help them make an informed decision on their film!!!
When I’m not at work, my passion is my family. I’m married with 2 adult children and 3 adult step children, one of which is serving in the Military, so I worry about him as all mothers do. We love going to concerts, traveling, doing anything adventurous from sky diving to scuba diving and everything in between. We love making memories!! I also enjoy flower arranging, just being at home watching some good TV and the sport of boxing. I train and spar and love it!! So I’m here to help anyone be successful in any way, all you have to do is let me know! Let’s take this industry to the NEXT LEVEL!
