Tim Parsons - VP/Sales Manager



Tim Parsons

I was introduced to the world of electronics retail in 1983 as an employee at Sears in the Cornwall Centre, downtown Regina. In the summer of 1985, I was hired by Phil Rouleau, owner of Radio Centre(at that time), to run the RCA CED movie disc rental division of the store on 521 Victoria Ave. You remember CED movies right? They looked like records, but they played on an RCA CED player that produced video as well as a stereo soundtrack. Well, within the span of a few months, VHS and laserdisc took over and the CEDs went the way of the dinosaurs. This forced me to quickly learn to become proficient in sales as well as learning how to perform the many other tasks associated with running a retail store. In 1999 Phil decided to retire from the business and offered it to Rene Fahlman and I which we accepted. It has now been over 25 years, 11 as an owner and I can’t say enough good things about my job. I can truly say that I look forward to getting up in the morning to go to work, because my reward is putting smiles on the faces of the people we deal with each day.




Rene Fahlman - President/Service Manager
