    Get to Know Dan Through Our Quick Interview

    Dan joined C5 Manufacturing in June of 2024, where he works in Commercial Outside Sales. He’s been an outside sales manager for 20+ years. Searching & finding that new customer never gets old to him and taking care of the existing ones. He says there’s something about building a relationship with clients & taking care of their needs / having a product that can go to market motivates him every day.

  • What is your position/role at C5 Manufacturing?

    I have been an outside sales manager for over 20 years, and I truly get excited about doing research in the area I will be calling on for the week, packing a bag, hopping in the truck, and going out to see clients. Whether it is just a friendly visit or sitting down to go over a possible order, I will do whatever it takes to get that client taken care of in a timely manner. I pride myself on being the go-to person in my daily tasks.

  • When did you start working at C5 Manufacturing?

    June 2024

  • What do you like about working for C5 Manufacturing?

    Working for C5 MFG has truly been a calling. I could not ask for a better opportunity or better people to work for. I say it all the time: I LOVE MY JOB, and I truly do LOVE MY JOB! Working for a small business, I feel like my voice is heard. Unlike major corporations, if I have something that I feel would benefit the business, the owners, Corey and Ann, listen, and that means the world to me.

  • What do you like to do in your spare time?

    Family is a great thing, and my wife (Sue) and I are blessed to have 2 children who are grown, married, and live very close to us. Our son and his wife have our first Grandchild, and so we spend whatever time we have during the week and weekends hanging with them and playing with Grif. Our daughter and her husband have a little dog that we get to see and play with frequently, too.

  • What's a hobby of yours?

    My wife and I enjoy taking cruises. Nothing better than to be on a big ship relaxing the day away. (People watching)

  • What is something that someone would be surprised to know about you?

    I truly am a quiet reserved person. I like to just sit back and observe most (ok some) of the time. It truly is amazing what you will learn about people if you just sit back and observe.

  • Find that job that makes you feel like family, give that job all you got, and it will pay dividends!

    Thank You Corey & Ann for taking a chance on me!
