Long-standing companies with great cultures are built on the dedication of experienced employees who work tirelessly to serve customers and pass the torch to the next generation. TVF has led the way in both regards for more than 50 years, and with a trio of recent retirements from our Sales Team, customers who worked with those sales legends will have the opportunity to collaborate with another set of knowledgeable, exemplary employee-owners focused on their success.
Get to know more about the TVF Sales Team directly from a handful of the experts you’ll be working with. Although some faces have changed, the legacy of industry-leading expertise, consistent products, and incomparable accountability remains constant.
Erica Roudabush is a senior sales consultant who started at TVF in 2004 and specializes in industrial textile options that include transportation, booms, and industrial curtains. She worked closely with Shelly Hirschinger and Jim Prestipino for years. “Customer relationships have always been my favorite part of my job at TVF, and I’m really excited to build on the relationships our retirees forged. I’m grateful to have been mentored by both Jim and Shelly (among others!) the last 20+ years and feel confident our customers will have the same level of expertise and dedication to make their business successful. The face may be different but our commitment to the customer hasn’t changed!”
Senior Sales Consultant Ryan Lower worked in tandem with James Durant, Jim, Shelly, and has nearly 20 years of experience at TVF. His areas of focus include textiles for agriculture, inflatables, and tarps. “James, Shelly, and Jim left TVF with big shoes to fill. With the knowledge and connections I’ve built here in close to 20 years, I am confident that I can meet your expectations and help your business grow.”
Ashley Pires started at TVF in 2013. The senior sales consultant specializes in athleisure, outerwear, drapes, and upholstery in our apparel and home décor division, but has experience across all divisions. James, Jim, and Shelly have all had positive impacts on her textile career. “I can’t wait to put my 12 years of textile experience to work to add value to your company! At TVF, we appreciate your business and assure you that you’re in good hands. We’ll miss James, Jim, and Shelly, and they’ve been great teachers through the years. The entire team and I look forward to working together to grow our relationship and your business.”
Senior Sales Consultant Chris Russo has worked with TVF since 2018 and focuses on bags, cases, military, and other applications in our industrial division. Jim Prestipino was a big influence on his textile career. “Jim has big shoes to fill, but I am excited and look forward to working with you and supporting your business needs. I have nearly seven years of textile experience and come with great knowledge in this field. Please feel free to reach out to me directly for anything you may need. Thank you for your continued partnership, and we look forward to assisting you with the same level of care and service you’ve come to expect from us.”
