Team
At Promax, our people are good at developing nutritional products for the active consumer – because we’re active consumers too! In fact, the inspiration for many of our new products is a direct result of our own healthy and active lifestyles. Here are a few team member bios:
Angela Brand Manager
As a registered dietitian, Angela loves scoping out new and innovative food products and ingredients in which to indulge. Whether it be the new superfruit from Asia or an age-old food that has became famous for functional ingredient benefits, Angela can be found scouring the nutrition news or wading through Saturday morning farmers’ markets for the perfect new little secret. Angela’s primary philosophy is “power in the food means power on the running track, power in relaxation, and power in life.” Taking a bite of a Cookies ‘n Cream Promax Bar is a secret indulgence for Angela after a long hard marathon training run along the rocky Pacific Coast.
Brandon Sales Representative
After an eight-hour day of negotiating with retail store buyers and athletic departments across the country, Brandon burns the midnight oil by being a full time graduate student in sports management as well. “Between work and a full course load, my only option is to eat on the run. In order to keep balance, and have enough energy throughout the day, I have a Promax Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Promax Bar for breakfast. When I do have free time you can catch me on the links in the spring and summer months. Once football season starts, I build up my frequent flyer miles by visiting numerous college campuses to watch football games – from Los Angeles to Baton Rouge to South Bend. You never know what kind of food options you will have while traveling, so I always pack plenty of the Promax 70 Calorie Bars in my carry-on.”
Cathy Head of R&D
The small flash of energy that just rushed past you is probably just Cathy, the head of R&D here at Promax. Her boundless energy and positive attitude, along with regular exercise, help to keep her young. She seldom stops for very long, and soon she’s off and running again. Despite her busy schedule, she understands the importance of good nutrition not only for herself but for her family as well. Grabbing a Black Forest Cake Promax Bar on the run certainly helps.
Gregg Sales, Health & Fitness
“The sports nutrition guy.” Having spent his life playing almost every sport – from hockey to running cross country – most evenings you can find Gregg playing some type of league sport. Then on the weekends, it’s sports tournaments for Gregg. Whether he’s traveling around the country to play softball, playing in a local golf tournament, or roller blading with the kids in the jogging stroller, Gregg always carries a stash of Promax products. A Lemon Bar after a basketball game or before a volleyball game fits Gregg’s lifestyle just perfectly!
Mary R&D Technician
When Mary’s not at the gym doing a Pilate’s workout or burning mega calories in a spin class, you’ll find her hiking in the Contra Loma hills with a friend. She’s an adventure seeker too. “Bungee jumping or skydiving, point the way and I’m there!” Her two boys have always kept her going whether it was with baseball, basketball, karate, or soccer. When she’s on the go (trying to keep up with the small flash of energy in the office, known as Cathy), she grabs a Cookies ‘n Cream 70 bar, or just takes a few bites of a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough bar-her favorite! “Nutrition has always been a part of my life and Promax helps me to stay on track.”
Rebecca Manager of First Impressions
Rebecca starts her day off with a great tasting Promax Lemon Bar. When not fielding customer calls, placing orders, managing the office, or any number of things, you’ll find Rebecca out on the slopes, losing altitude and gaining speed as quickly as humanly possible. During the off-season, you’ll find her snorkeling in Dana Point’s natural coves, or hiking somewhere off in the High Sierras.
Ron Finance/Operations
In addition to playing Bean Counter, Ron also manages the operations for Promax. At home, Ron is busy chasing his 2 young girls through the park or planning his next family getaway. A perfect vacation for Ron might be diving off the coast of Belize and exploring its coral reef. Kicking around the soccer ball with his kids for an impromptu “see if we can beat Dad” can take a toll on Ron, so you might see him sneaking a Promax 70 Calorie Bar – Double Fudge Brownie – to support his game.
Shari Chief Operating Officer
While at her desk at Promax, Shari manages the Operations focused on moving product through the Supply Chain. However when not in the office, you will typically find her outdoors riding her bike for exercise, adventure, and overall well being. For a snack, Shari is a big fan of the Promax 70 calorie Nutty Butter bar to keep her fueled.
Suzanne Executive Assistant
Suzanne is a hike-a-holic, a regular at the gym, and a marathon dog walker. There’s nothing better than a Cookies n’ Cream Promax Bar to keep her going on a 6-hour hike up a big mountain, or after a long power-walk with her favorite pet. She also finds Promax 70 calorie bars are a great treat after dinner – when something far less healthy is usually tempting her. And putting packets of Joint Xpress in her hiking drinks helps keeps Suzanne’s joints ready for the next mile.
