Howard Pickett has built a promising career in electrical sales on a foundation of hard work and team play.
Howard Pickett, president of George Pickett and Associates, Cary, N.C., grew up with a well-developed sense of hard work and team play. When Howard was young, his father, George, pursued a career in sports, coaching basketball at colleges that included the Citadel and North Carolina State. In 1962 George Pickett left coaching to try his hand at saleswhich he saw as similar to the recruiting and coaching process-and formed his own manufacturers' rep firm. Howard's mother, Joan Pickett, was there from the start, serving as office manager.
