Rick Bock one of the original owners of The Killers purchased his first two offices in 1991 which are located in Salem and Newport. Rick hired Matthew White in the fall of 1994 when Matthew started inspecting homes and setting up services for customers. After a lot of hard work, the Portland Metro area was added in 1996. In 2001 Matthew was promoted to Head of Operation for all 3 Killers offices.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/20274180/ACg8ocLDZkvN5YBjGV3g4Fv-TTza2zQOyvc_Pw8xwKyShlVh73jn5PlI=s96-c.jpg","podcastShareLogo":null,"podcastUrl":"https://thekillers.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":false,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/thekillers/feed.xml","theme":"focuspod","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-hm2r2-1355c04?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":17,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-04:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-4,"text":"(GMT-04:00) Atlantic Time (Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Halifax"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":12,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"thekillers","enableEngagementStats":false,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-hm2r2-1355c04-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-hm2r2-1355c04?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"dark"},{"id":"Font","val":"Roboto"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"PT Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#FF2C2C"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player2"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/wk2irnwanmij8mp6/ACg8ocLDZkvN5YBjGV3g4Fv-TTza2zQOyvc_Pw8xwKyShlVh73jn5PlI_s96-cb795b9e3-2250-d21f-3d3c-b1cd76abe92e.jpg"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
