Bio
Jim Stelma
I've had the pleasure of knowing Tom for over 30 years. His skill set and capabilities in Sales/Account Management and Engineering processes is second to none. I would highly recommend Tom for any position were his expertise can be utiized.
LinkedIn User
I had the opportunity to work with Tom for over 10 ½ years. He is personable, reliable and intelligent. Tom is an extremely detail oriented team player that was one of the top representatives for the organization. His performance as well as his drive for success was above what was requested, resulting in value for the customer and the company. He goes to great lengths for his external customers while making an effort to work equally as well with his ‘internal company customers’. Tom played an integral role in the development and successes with Caterpillar, Cummins and Detroit Diesel (among others). If I owned a business and needed an Account Manager to be on my team, Tom would be at the top of my list.
