“I was born in Monterey and grew up in Seaside, California, which is only 14 miles away from Salinas where I heard many of the country’s vegetables were grown. My father came to the United States from Guam back in the late 1960s, and his first job was harvesting produce in Salinas at a young age. He met my mother at Seaside High School and long story short—here I am!
Back in 2001, my wife heard about an open position at Markon. To be honest, at that time I didn’t even know a tomato was a fruit, but I jumped in head first after Mark Shaw gave me an opportunity as an entry level coordinator in the sales office. What a ride it has been—16 years later, here I am as the Customer Service Director. The ever-changing challenges of shipping fresh produce across the U.S. and Canada have me hooked!”
