What is the day in the life of the Ontario Territory Sales Manager for Salford:
The day of a territory manager is made up of a lot of driving between dealerships and farmers fields for meetings, to help with new machine launches and to be the eyes of the company when we have a machine issue that needs to be investigated. Every day is exciting, it is rare to have two days that are the same, there is always something new to see, new areas to visit and always many vibrant and interesting people to meet.
What is something that surprised you about Salford/Ag manufacturing that you did know before you started:
I had a good idea of what Salford Manufactured when I started, however, I have been surprised by the level of variation and complexity of the equipment, especially on the application side. The constantly expanding line of Salford equipment with a multitude of variations combined with the rapidly evolving and changing agricultural needs makes it tough to stay on top of everything. Luckily, Salford has a great team that works to support the outside field staff and helps us stay on top of it all.

I live in Alliston, ON. I am happily married and have two wonderful daughters, 9 and 12. I love to spend my days outside mountain biking, hiking, camping and canoeing. Then, at home, I can usually be found next to my grill or smoker with a beer in hand. When I’m stuck inside, I enjoy watching the Maple Leafs, Raptors and Blue Jays.
