Traver West Email & Phone Number

The 'I Used to be Somebody' podcast is hosted by the lovable Carl Landau, who interviews professionals who have enjoyed a rewarding "second act" after retiring from their primary careers. At the end of each show Carl features a segment titled 'Pickleball Chronicles with Traver' which debuted in episode #78 in February of 2024. In this segment Carl and I discuss some of the highs and lows of my working career in the pickleball industry, as well as some of the characters I have met along the way. The podcast is published monthly, is always an interesting and entertaining listen, and I am delighted to contribute to Carl's efforts in my own small way.

After spending 9 years with WebsitePros/Web.com (NASDAQ: WWWW), growing from a front-line sales professional, to a team supervisor, to a departmental manager, to a Director of a 100-member division, I was grateful for the education I received but was yearning to once again work for a fast-growing, nimble, private company. I put my experience to work in exactly that way at PartyPail, Inc, operating nine (yes, nine!) e-commerce properties on the Yahoo Small Business platform.PartyPail, Inc, was acquired in July of 2012 by Hoffmaster Group, Inc, and relocated operations from the beautiful Pacific Northwest to the Greater Chicagoland Area. Product offerings grew to include a vast array of personalized party goods, kids' birthday party supplies, disposable plastic tableware, and designer melamine products.
