  1. National Sales Representative Project Manager

    Farber Specialty Vehicles

    May 2018 — Present · Reynoldsburg, OH, US

    As a National Sales Representative and Project Manager at Farber Specialty Vehicles (FSV), I take pride in representing a company that leads in custom vehicle manufacturing. FSV utilizes AutoCAD and SolidWorks software to design and build specialized interiors across multiple platforms, including Sprinter vans, cab and chassis trucks, coach-style bodies, Prevost buses, and the Farber-Bus—a Freightliner XC rear-engine chassis powered by a Cummins diesel engine and Allison transmission, available in lengths up to forty-five feet.Over the years, FSV has expanded its market reach to include a diverse range of industries. We specialize in medical, health, and dental units; command and communication vehicles; emergency response vehicles (SWAT, DUI, hazmat); simulation labs and BSL2 laboratories; mobile educational and technology units; and bookmobiles.In my role, I work directly with U.S. Federal agencies such as Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Marshals Service, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Border Patrol. I also support municipalities, state governments, and international clients across the Middle East, Africa, and South America in securing customized specialty vehicles tailored to their operational needs.FSV currently produces 120 to 220 custom vehicles per year, and my role involves managing sales, client relationships, and overseeing projects from concept to completion. I collaborate with our team of 160 skilled managers and craftsmen, many of whom have been with FSV for 10 to 35 years. Our projects are supported by a dedicated engineering team, consisting of mechanical and electrical engineers who ensure precision and innovation in every vehicle.
