Joseph Maruskin Sr. -
President
My first exposure to the sales field was when I was employed by Homestead Valve. This occurred after spending four (4) years with the U.S. Air Force. After spending my tour with the AirForce, I spent an additional four (4) years earning my degree in Engineering and Business Management. My first position with Homestead was a sales correspondent, shortly thereafter; I was transferred to Michigan as a Regional Manager. I held this position for numerous years and for whatever reason, Homestead changed their marketing strategy from direct factory people to representatives. I decided to take that line on and form my own organization and the rest is history.
