Haze brings an expertise in customer relationship management and sales and marketing to his role with Pay Email. Born and raised in North Carolina, Haze comes from a family of successful business owners who always instilled the importance of a strong work ethic. He began his business training at North Carolina State University, where he earned a BA in business management. Later, as Haze began to work with his father’s pay telephone business, Triangle Telephone Company, he refined his instinctive appreciation for customer service and vending technology, and committed himself to stay in a constant pursuit of the latest products to help customers. As a sales manager, Haze gained a better understanding of his customers’ personal experiences in the changing market.

When the Lancaster family sold the business in 1998, Haze and his team realized that many of his existing customers were clamoring for someone to provide a full service ATM placement program similar to the services provided for them in the payphone business. That led to the inception of Pay Email and ATM USA in 1998. The experience and skills Haze gathered and honed while running two large vending routes in pay telephones and ATMs are a testament to the capabilities he possesses, and these skills are reflected in his approach to leading Pay Email.
