Managed a $5.5MM territory producting steady volume and revenue growth and excellent account retention over a five year stint. Drove/increased bulk carbon dioxide gas volume and sales revenue an average of 10% per annum over that period, investing technical background and CO2 experience in introducing new and existing CO2 applications to my market area. I worked within a strong team environment with many competencies that really fostered exceptional strategies and solutions for our customers, new and old alike.

As a member of an 7 person staff, we provided technical sales &engineering support to regional engineers throughout the US, Canada, Mexico & South America. My primary assignment was to support the NE & SE Regions of the CO2 Corporation. We were also tasked with identifying, researching & developing new applications, the technologies & equipment required to promote CO2 gas sales. Provide technical support to Customer Service Engineering and Service Reps throughout the country. My tenure with this group fostered a deep understanding of CO2 gas and the numerous applications associated with CO2 such as beverage carbonation, cryogenic food freezeing, pumping systems, aersol can filling, modified atmosphere packaging, mixing and grinding, pneumatic cooling, steel making processes, inerting, foam board manufacture, etc.
