Paul Roach, CPMR
My Passion: This is a very dynamic and fun industry and I am passionate about working every day to help our distributors and contractors to be successful.
My Role: I am an account manager working with distributors in the Phoenix area as well as Southern Arizona. I started my career as a rep and then spent the past 20+ years in sales management for several manufacturers. During the course of that time, I have had the pleasure to work with so many talented manufacturers’ reps. I have learned that there are many different paths to success and look forward to using all of that knowledge in my new role at AGS.
Career Background: I started my career back in 1988 working for Al Roach Sales in the Phoenix area. My father was a great mentor and I will always be grateful for him giving a young guy a chance that had zero experience in the industry. I miss him every day. In the fall of 2000, I went to work for Thomas & Betts. After a couple of years there, I have spent that past 20 years as either a Regional Sales Manager or National Sales Manager for Simkar Lighting, Edwards Signal, TCP Lighting, Madison Electric and then Southwire. I will treasure all of the knowledge and friendships built during these years.
Personal Side: I have been married for 38 years and have a beautiful daughter and an awesome son. Away from work, you will either find me at Lifetime Fitness, the golf course, or spending time with family.
