CEO – Alex Iser
Alex Iser attended Oral Roberts University in 1996 where he studied Business Marketing.
Alex started his career in the wireless industry in January of 2000 wholesaling and retailing cellular phones with his older brother Gregg at Tulsa Digital and Lighthouse Communications.
In late 2001 he launched AriaStar Communications, a cellular wholesaling company targeting cellular authorized resellers and sold over 8,000 phones in 2002. In late 2002, the market was forced into changes that forced Alex to create a new line of work within the cellular industry; fundraising. Alex started a trend setting business; Cellular Funding.
The organization targeted Christian schools and churches, the plan: raise phones to raise funds. It was an ingenuous idea to gain capital without funding. Upon collecting phones, hundreds of phones needed to be repaired and refurbished in order to be sold, which grew into the company we still run today.
In December 2003, a business colleague called Alex and said, “I’m sending you a book and want you to take it very seriously.” A few days later the book, “The Purpose Driven Life” arrived and Alex started reading it. Alex always had passion to give big to God and help impact the world but the priorities had not been established. He thought in order to give big, he had to receive big. With the help of the book, God taught simple truths and fundamentals that would transform Alex’s faith in life and in business. The first truth was to trust and obey the Lord without question, regardless of how daunting it may seem. Another valuable word learned was to place the focus on people, not money. Money is merely a reward, a bonus to the level of service provided. Alex also discovered that he was called to be a Kingdom Builder, one to help fuel the kingdom of God and empower ministries and missions with their calling. Alex’s heart is to pursue God and press on toward the mark of his calling.
In March of 2004 God birthed another trend setting business for Alex, Phone Doctors. Phone Doctors strives to be frontrunners in the retail repair industry by innovation, creativity and a genuine desire to love customers.
