Employee Focus: Rich Wagner

 


For the 3rd quarter of 2021 our Employee Focus is on Rich Wagner.  Rich handles our International Technical Sales, among numerous other things.  Rich joined the Van Mark team in 2020 and recently celebrated his 1-year anniversary.  Rich wears many hats and stays busy with many different projects but, primarily his focus is on working with Sales and Research & Development.  Rich shared with us that he appreciates that he has the freedom to think and create.  He also told us that he feels working for our family-owned business was a great choice for him and he values the stability Van Mark offers.

Rich is especially excited and proud of the projects he’s been working on over the last year.  He’s been very involved in developing some new products that Van Mark hopes to launch soon.  “I really have the mindset of an Engineer” Rich tells us.  “I love to tinker in my free time at home too” Rich enjoys it so much he has his own lathe, mill, and a welder in his home garage.  His hope for the future is to continue his career with Van Mark and eventually move into a higher-level management role within the Sales or Operations departments.

Rich also likes to keep busy during his free time and, has many hobbies.  He enjoys motorcycles, dirt biking, and mountain biking.  He also likes kayaking and skiing.  Taking care of himself and staying fit is a high priority for Rich.  Rich grew up in the Taylor area and has spent that the last 20 years residing in Pinckney with his wife, Trisha, 2 dogs and a cat.

Look forward to another employee focus next quarter and be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for announcements.
