WILLAMETTE TRUSS - Independence, OR

TYPE OF BUSINESS: Truss manufacturer.

MY TITLE: Outside sales and senior truss designer.

MY DUTIES: Some inside sales from walk-in and phone orders, but

mostly outside sales. During and after the sale it was my

responsibility to work directly with each customer and their

representatives. It was also my responsibility to put together

complete engineering packets, list any design, bearing or code

OTHER TRUSS EXPERIENCE - In Idaho and Oregon

TYPE OF BUSINESS: Truss manufacturer.

MY TITLE: Inside and outside sales and truss designer.

MY DUTIES: With my first job in Idaho I was mostly an outside

salesman that did the take-offs

and pre-design. Before long I was doing all of the design work along

with the sales. Then,

because of my extensive building experience, I quickly became a

valued asset in working

directly with project supervisors, architects and engineers as well as

with local building officials.

As I proved my abilities I quickly worked into project coordination

and doing all office and shop

paperwork. During this period I used 4 different truss programs -

Mitek, Robbins, Alpine and

Trusswall. My main emphasis has always been focused on customer

service and in keeping my

technical knowledge up to date.
