Bio
Nicole Parker
I reported to Roger in my capacity of National Sales Manager – Corporate Division for the five years he was with us. His sales and leadership skills were evident the day he walked through the door and over time my co-workers and I grew to truly appreciate his supportive management style. Roger has a tremendous understanding of various markets and the customers in them and he took the time to share his knowledge with each and every staff member. I will miss his mentorship. I will also miss his courage, the courage to support his staff, to have our backs, when times got tough. His courage and leadership was critical to developing the dedicated and loyal team he used to achieve success during his tenure as Vice President of Sales. Without reservation, I recommend Roger for employment. He is a born leader with the dedication and motivation it takes to inspire a win every time.

It is my pleasure to recommend Roger Carroll. I worked side by side with Roger in his role as Vice President of Sales for almost five years. During this time, sales at our company tripled in volume and today our products can be found at several national Big Box chains and many leading independent retailers. I believe that Roger's strong leadership, recruiting, training and motivational skills has been key to his success. His upbeat personality and engaging personal style enable him to quickly develop a rapport with customers and co-workers alike. His collaborative management style is highly respected by his co workers.
