Walter and Eddie Boyd Honored as Innovator Entrepreneur

Walter Boyd, Eddie Boyd, and Jaylin Krell

Our very own Walter, MacroAir’s founder and inventor of HVLS fans, and Eddie, our President (and my dad!) were honored with the Innovator Entrepreneur award at the Inland Empire Spirit of the Entrepreneur black-tie award ceremony held at the Riverside Convention Center.

The Spirit of the Entrepreneur award is given in eight categories to businesses in the southern California area. Over 140 businesses were nominated this year, with final awardees chosen from a pool of 25 finalists. The awards are given to recognize local Inland Empire businesses and to inspire other businesses.

We here at MacroAir are thrilled that Walter and Eddie won. As a small, family owned business, we strive to develop products that lower energy costs for companies in over a dozen industries while advancing HVLS fan technology. All of us here take pride in what we do — and having Walter and Eddie be recognized for their achievements in building a profitable — and green — company is icing on the cake!
