I started in this business in 1970 at EG Heller’s Sons, Tarzana, California working as a parts clerk and service manager. I traveled extensively and had the entire US as my territory. It soon became clear to me that my heart really was in the sales. In late 1978 I moved to Seattle to work for Fahey Machinery Company as an area sales manager selling Wysong, Lockformer, Iowa Precision, W.A. Whitney, US Amada, Aida and Pullmax, and a variety of other machinery and equipment.

In 1985 I returned back to California and was re-hired by EG Heller’s Son; this time as the western sales manager. In 1987 I was promoted to National Sales Manager. I stayed with the company for the next 20 years until I in 2005 decided to start my own business – C Marshall Fabrication Machinery, Inc. bringing to it my extensive experience in the metalworking world, deep knowledge of the machines I am selling, understanding of the market and respect for the people that I deal with.
