For those of you who have given us a call in the past couple

marketing and sales, as well as several years experience as a CNC machinist.
Over the course of his career, he has worked in the retail, wholesale
distribution, and manufacturing channels. Prior to his recent machinist
experience, he spent 7 years as a sales representative for Venture Lighting,
Inc, in Solon, OH, a manufacturer of industrial HID lighting systems. Before that, he was employed for nearly 8
years in a variety of marketing and sales positions for The Federal Wholesale

Ted is a native of Warren, Ohio, and earned a bachelor’s
degree in Marketing from Kent State University. He has been married to his
wife, Mary Jo, for over 25 years, and together they have 3 children, Ryan,
Erin, and Mallory.
In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his family
and friends, sports, music, reading, walking, and riding the many bike paths and
trails the area has to offer.
Ted prides himself in his commitment to meeting his customers’
needs and providing them with an exceptional level of customer service and
support.
He has spent the last several months working with Dean and
our team here learning all about Thompson Fabricating, our process, and our products.
We are incredibly confident in him and excited to have him as a part of our
team.
Please join us in welcoming Ted to our team!
