MOUNT JULIET, TN, August 29, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- William Lee Matheny has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Matheny has established himself as a prominent business leader in the Nashville region. He currently serves as the chief executive officer of Busy Bee Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning Inc., a role he has held since 2012. In this capacity, he is responsible for guiding the company's strategic direction and fostering a culture of excellence among his team. His daily responsibilities include coaching and mentoring employees to help them excel in their roles, ensuring that internal customers—his staff—are empowered to deliver outstanding service to external clients.

A significant aspect of Mr. Matheny's leadership involves close collaboration with the chief financial officer to review financial reports, assess cost structures and identify opportunities for increased efficiency and revenue generation. He is known for his meticulous attention to both minor details and overarching business strategies, always seeking incremental improvements that can have a substantial impact on the company's growth. As Busy Bee Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning Inc. has expanded, Mr. Matheny has emphasized the importance of understanding financial documents such as profit and loss statements and balance sheets, recognizing that sustainable success depends on sound fiscal management and value-driven service.

Prior to founding Busy Bee Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning Inc., Mr. Matheny was president of a private security firm from 2010 to 2012. The company specialized in personal security protection and safeguarding high-value assets and transports. This venture was sold in 2012 as he shifted his focus back to the HVAC industry.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Matheny owned an HVAC company that primarily served real estate investors, including hedge funds and investment firms acquiring multiple properties or large apartment complexes. His company upgraded heating and air conditioning systems to prepare these properties for resale or rental. However, the economic downturn in 2008 significantly reduced investment activity, prompting him to briefly pursue a career in law enforcement before returning to private security and eventually re-entering the HVAC sector.

Throughout his professional journey, Mr. Matheny has been an active member of industry organizations, including serving as a past member of ACA. He credits much of his success to self-education, leadership development and a deep understanding of people dynamics. Rather than following a traditional academic path, he graduated from McGavock High School in Nashville in 2001 and attributes his achievements to lessons learned through experience, self-reflection and personal responsibility as well as the support of his wife and family.

Mr. Matheny is particularly proud of his ability to lead strong teams without a college background, emphasizing personal growth as his most significant accomplishment. He believes that investing in oneself and cultivating leadership skills are essential for building effective organizations. His approach centers on helping others achieve their goals, fostering mutual support within his teams.

Beyond his professional commitments, Mr. Matheny is civically engaged with several organizations in the Nashville area. He supports the Nashville Rescue Mission, participates in Rotary Club activities, contributes to disaster relief efforts and is involved with a local church.

In his personal life, Mr. Matheny enjoys fishing, wakeboarding, wake surfing and spending time at the lake with his family. He values quality time with his wife and children and is an avid reader of leadership books. Looking ahead, he plans to significantly expand Busy Bee Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning Inc., aiming for substantial growth in both revenue and geographic reach across Tennessee.
