"I am going on my 6th year with Ritchie Marketing. Prior to that I worked for Sara Lee Foodservice in different capacities ,originally as the specialist in the Protein Category and then into the full line of Sara Lee. The rest of my career from the beginning was mostly all with Con Agra and its affiliates. Since joining RMI it is a pleasure to work with some of the Industries most experienced staff.
My Family includes wife Cathy, daughters Nicole, Megan, and Ashley. Together they blessed me with 7 beautiful Grandchildren. My hobbies include hunting Birds with my Lab Bailey, golf, and spending time outdoors with my camper and boat at the lake. I am very Happy to be a part of the Ritchie organization."

"I have been with RMI since September of 2016. I started in the food service industry when I was 18 years old. Washing dishes, bussing tables. From there, I started bartending, then was promoted to bar manager. After a short time, I became the General Manager of that restaurant. I moved on and started managing restaurants for a couple of years, before I moved into the Food distribution industry. That was my first taste of food service sales, which I found to fit me well. For the next 15 years, I worked for two national food distributors. From there is when I started working at my first food brokerage position.
I live in Western Pa. I have one son, who is an electrician. He and I like to fish together and he is trying to keep up with me on the golf course, lol. I like to hunt, kayak, boat and ride ATV’s. I spend as much time outdoors as I can."
