Jay Rein, President 

Jay is in charge of sales, marketing, new product recruitment and business management. If you come to a Bluebird event the chances are Jay will be there, as he is on the road 90 nights a year visiting dealers and exhibiting at audio shows and dealer events. Before starting Bluebird Jay ran a computer distributor and software development company for twelve years. There, he designed and sold a highly successful commercial CRM software application which is still sold and used throughout the world today. 

Jay’s training includes a B. Comm. in hospitality management and an MBA in finance and marketing. Jay believes in business process management; he thinks ’big company’ and hopes to turn Bluebird into one, someday. Jay has coached hockey for 17 seasons and is a certified hockey coach and hockey trainer. He plays guitar, (HD28 and a ‘67 Tele), and is an avid runner, sailor and baseball fan. Jay’s taste in music is best summed up as: ‘for those about to rock'.

Katherine Rein, Finance and Logistics Manager

Katherine came in to help one particularly busy day many years ago and never managed to escape. Today, she manages our two warehouses, as well as purchasing, receiving, inventory, shipping, returns and repairs and all import and export documentation. She also manages and coordinates all trade shows and dealer events, and coordinates Bluebird’s sales reps, service techs and bookkeeper. It’s actually quite a lot more work than you might think. As you can see, when she's not indoors Katherine likes to be outdoors.
