I specialize in Off Highway Tires including farm, skid steer, radial & bias OTR tires, forklift, flotations and solids I also move about $3-4M worth of our Galaxy Medium Radial Truck per year. I have been in the tire business for over 25 years starting my career with Galaxy Tire Co. in Malden, MA. I have been with the company through numerous acqusitons and buyouts and have been in many positions within the company which has helped my growth in the industry.

In this role I handled sales of the Galaxy, Constellation and Primex line of off-the-road tires. I had various territories in this role first handling the Dakotas and Minnesota before settling down into a larger territory that I grew to $30M per year in the states of PA, MD, NY, VA, WV, & IN. Having been able to deal with customers from all different areas in the country I was able to focus on all aspects of our business which has helped me grow to where I am today.

Helped me grow in the tire industry learning how Off Road Tires are built and what can cause tires to fail due to manufacturing issues or field hazards.
