Young began her career nine years ago in the coin-op business with JVL. She gained her breadth of industry experience during her tenure at AMI Entertainment and most recently CoinCo/Coin Acceptors and was instrumental in launching some of the early JVL products to markets in the midwest, south-east, and north-east. She was also the lead in launching the Rowe jukebox line into Canada, by collaborating with distributors, operators and the factory to bring Rowe into the Canadian marketplace.

"Continuing to work with relationships within my former territories allows me to offer both distributors and operators a portfolio of some of the leading market solutions available today."
