It was ten years ago to the day that the gentle giant, Mark<\/a> himself, first stepped through the doors of Parts Town in search of a job. Like all those who go on to find success here, Mark was uniquely qualified to bring great things to the company. Notably, he was a championship chicken wing eater with a set of pipes to rival Bing Crosby. But it was Mark\u2019s genuine passion for his customers and the work he does that would ultimately make him invaluable to the Parts Town team.<\/p>\n

In 2006, Mark moved from Independence, Missouri to Chicago to be with the love of his life, Mary. (You might even say he gave up his Independence<\/em> \u2013 ha!) With a background in small order distribution, he was a perfect fit for the expanding Parts Town team.<\/p>\n

Ten years later, much has changed. Mark has developed unparalleled expertise in the Nieco product line and knows more about the parts on Nieco broilers than anybody else. He\u2019s also developed a mastery in the needs of chain restaurants. And, of course, he remains our champion chicken wing eater \u2013 though the title does not go unchallenged!<\/p>\n

Mark\u2019s dedication to Parts Town and value as a salesperson is beyond measure. The relationships he has forged with customers and his colleagues have truly been instrumental to our success as a company. We could not be more appreciative of his contributions, and we\u2019re eagerly anticipating what he brings to the table in the next ten years.<\/p>\n

Congrats, Mark!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
