About Tryg Waterhouse

Accomplished, customer focused, technical sales and marketing professional with 10+ years consistent, proven record of exceeding goals, delivering a positive customer experience that solidifies foundational strategic partnerships and transformational leadership. My customer centric, technical product sales and marketing success is founded on over 10 years of experience in product development and manufacturing engineering. I’m proud of my unique blend of technical competence and communication/relational skills including critical thinking, problem solving, public speaking, customer management and training/education.I began my career as an engineer, mostly because I was good at math and science and I was always curious about how things worked. After several years of exploring various facets of manufacturing and design engineering, I felt myself looking for more. While I loved the technical challenges and problem solving of engineering, I found I was really drawn to the customers and their challenges. I found my true calling in technical sales and product management, where I can use my skill set to help connect customers with solutions that improve their businesses and their lives.As a teen and young adult, when facing my own challenges, I learned the significance of your attitude on the impact of achieving your goals. Without even realizing the significance of it, I found myself choosing to just assume I can do something even if I had no idea if I really could or not. As I’ve grown in my career, this concept has evolved into a process where I start by assuming I can, and if I fail, simply evaluate the failure, learn, make a new plan, and try again. I’m an avid outdoor enthusiast with an adventurous spirit and a passion for living a life worth telling stories about. My family members are my best friends and I never forget how lucky I am to have them. I work to live, but I live hard so I work hard too!
