Bio
Annalesa Donmoyer, MS
Dean spearheaded the Quality Control Specialist role being the first QCS in the company. Dean’s positivity, passion for exceptional service, and ability to evaluate and innovate the role when necessary were key contributors in the position being successful. As a mentor to Dean, I appreciated his openness to feedback, genuine interest to learn and grow, and the camaraderie he brought our peers and teammates. Dean leads by example and is a person you look forward to having on your team.

I have never worked with an individual as ambitious, reliable, and spirited as Dean. I had the opportunity to bring Dean onboard my team as a Product Specialist and Production Lead in our Business Development Center. He quickly jumped in and made a lasting impact on our processes and operations at Tom Wood. Additionally, he assisted me in reorganizing a department and creating efficiencies that have proven to increase profits! Dean has an incredible ability to keep a team aligned with a company’s vision and maintain a positive attitude through any trial. Dean’s work ethic and compassion have truly made an impact on myself and all his teammates here. It would be a blessing to have him back in the Tom Wood Group in the future!
