Why I enjoy demo days
New products to learn about, reps to get to know, and a chance to see what’s happening in foodservice. Demo days are one of my favorite parts of the job.

The First GOAT Racers Are Headed Out
The first GOAT Racers—GR1 and GR2—are getting ready to go to their first customer, and I’m honestly pretty stoked.

Not every day is about sales
Some days at KESCO are about calls, quotes, and orders. Other days I get to step into the warehouse, pick up a tool, and assemble the products we sell.

We finally completed the Blanton’s set
Felicia and I had been collecting the lettered Blanton’s stoppers for years. We finally found all eight and lined them up.
