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
