The capital was first established in Prescott, in 1867 changed to Tucson, and was eventually moved in 1889 to Phoenix. )

We have followed his career since he and his wife operated Priority Leasing in Austin, Texas. Both have been very active in the leasing community, with Kathy Hayden serving on the membership committee as well as other committees of the United Association of Equipment Leasing. Leasing News suggested Agility Solutions appear on the “Story Credit” and “Funder” list, but he said “no thank you.” Those in the wireless business know where to go, and if more brokers found out his niche, he explained, Agility would have to hire more people. They want to keep expenses in line, and their investors happy, too ( several include retired lessors such as Oren Hall and Jack Beatty.) He suggested if Leasing News were to write about the company, the following explains best their niche in the wireless equipment leasing communications' marketplace:
