Sales Manager

Hi! Thanks for looking at my page. I have been involved in the tooling industry for many years. I started out as a machinist, and then a planner for a large pallet manufacturer. At that point I was looking for a little more challenge and made the move to sales. Not sure what I was thinking at that time, but over the years it has just become fun getting to know my customers and their families and hobbies. In my spare time from the rat race…

  • Pets: 1 Boston Terrior, 1 Rottweiler, 1 Bull Mastiff, 8000 chickens, 1 Rooster, 1 dead fish in the pond, and a partridge in a pear tree.
  • Nickname: Green Acres Dodd.
  • Hobbies: 4-wheeling in my jeep Riding in my kabota tractor Collecting chicken eggs
  • Other forms of income: Selling chicken eggs (proceeds funding son’s U of O college tuition – last week, 7 dozen)

Hi! Glad you decided to check out my page.

  • I have been involved in the PCB Tooling business since 2000, except for the 18 months I served in Iraq. Through the years, I have been an assembler, machinist, a QC inspector and manager and now sales.
  • Don’t be fooled by my Size XS shirt. I am passionate about meeting my customer’s needs. Just ask them.
  • But when I’m not working…
  • I have 2 sons and a new wife. Out with the old, and in with the new! That makes my other projects hard to focus on, but it’s worth it. Life is good.
