Meet Sam F.
by Steve Brose

Sam F. has been a Technical Sales Person at Indepak for 3 years.  He is appreciative of how much he has learned from everyone he works with.  He especially likes to watch the development of new package designs and contributing ideas that add value to the finished products.

Sam was born and raised in Southeast Portland, Oregon and attended Portland State University and Lewis and Clark College.  He served as an X-Ray Technician in the military and was a teacher of health, physical education and the social sciences for 5 years.  He entered the sales world selling wire and cable for Belden Corp. in the Northwest.  Sam also worked for a turbocharger company in the U.S. and Canada, a vitamin and supplement manufacturer, and also a food broker.  He has been married for 28 years and has a 23 year old son and a 21 year old daughter.  

Sam enjoys bicycling.  Last year, he rode in the Seattle to Portland (STP) race which was a 2 day 200 mile ride.

Co-worker comments:
"Eager to please, with vast merchandising knowledge.  He is a man of integrity, character, and a customer advocate.  He represents the customer as if he were the customer."

"Enthusiastic, energetic and knowledgeable of the customers and technology in our industry.  Sam has a strong work ethic."

Sam, thanks for letting us feature you this month.  Your contributions and character have earned you respect at Indepak.
