My name is Jason Hawk and I am the Vice President of Sales at HOLDRITE, a leading U.S. Plumbing Manufacturer within the North American Building Construction Industry. After attending Southern Oregon University, I spent a few years traveling throughout Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia. Upon returning to the United States, I took on the role as Director of Catering at Garden Fresh Restaurant Corporation, where I built from scratch a successful catering operation throughout San Diego. In 2000, I joined the team at HOLDRITE as an Inside Sales and Customer Support Agent. My ability to quickly understand the business and acquire new customers proved to HOLDRITE’s leadership team that I was an asset to the company. In 2001, I was promoted to Regional Sales Manager, where I oversaw the company’s footprint in the Northeast region. For the next seven years, I played an integral role in developing and expanding upon HOLDRITE’s presence throughout the East Coast. In 2008, I relocated to Atlanta where I served as HOLDRITE’s Regional Director of Sales. In addition to overseeing independent rep agencies throughout the east coast, I supported Regional Sales Managers throughout the territory and managed their scope of responsibilities. My hard work was rewarded, and in March of 2016, I was promoted to serve as HOLDRITE’s Vice President of Sales for the Eastern United States. In addition to broadening the company’s presence within the region, I also play an integral role in various components of the organization including marketing and product development. For more than three decades, HOLDRITE has evolved from a single product line business into a recognized leader in the plumbing and mechanical contractor markets. With over 800 SKU’s, hundreds of millions of HOLDRITE products have been installed into a variety of construction projects, from single-family and multi-family housing to hotels, healthcare institutions, and many other market sectors.
